HR 1253 United States House · 118th Congress

Energy Security Cooperation with Allied Partners in Europe Act of 2023

This bill aims to reduce European reliance on Russian energy by expediting U.S. natural gas exports to NATO allies and key partners, and imposing sanctions on entities supporting Russian energy pipelines. It modifies export rules to prioritize applications from NATO members, Japan, and other countries deemed vital to U.S. national security, streamlining approval processes. The bill also mandates sanctions for investments exceeding $1 million in Russian energy export pipelines, with limited presidential waiver authority. Directly affecting NATO countries, U.S. energy exporters, and Russian pipeline projects, it focuses on diversifying energy sources and strengthening transatlantic energy security.
