In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the hosts, Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley, along with guest Rey Trevino III, dive into a whirlwind of energy headlines and market updates. They discuss China’s new tariffs on U.S. LNG—introduced as a countermeasure to recent U.S. tariffs—President Trump’s controversial call for Ukraine to supply rare earth minerals, and South Africa’s bold stance against U.S. mineral imports. The conversation also covers the appointment of a new EPA chief focused on deregulation, the financing of LNG-powered container ships, and dynamic shifts in U.S. oil production and energy policy. All of these topics are examined with spirited commentary, humor, and incisive debate.
