“Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to support the National Defense Authorization Act. We all appreciate Chairman Mike Rogers for his leadership and commitment for our men and women in uniform and for promoting peace through strength.

“On April 11, GAIL issued a tender to procure 1 million metric tons per annum of LNG from an existing or new U.S. LNG liquefaction project, with operations commencing by 2030. The agreement, potentially extendable by five to 10 years, signals India's commitment to U.S. supplies. GAIL had to stall a similar process in 2023 to buy a stake in a U.S. LNG plant after President Biden banned export permits for LNG projects. The ban was lifted only after the Trump administration returned to the White House. The timing of the upcoming deal is notable, strengthening India's position as a counterweight to China. The Quad alliance--comprising the U.S., India, Japan and Australia-- gains heft as India bolsters its energy security and economic clout. As Mr. Vance emphasized, the U.S.”
“Even a middle-class Indian like me residing in a major city experiences power blackouts regularly, which is precisely why the nation has postponed net-zero ambitions to a distant 2070. Even the documents for the country's participation in the nutty United Nations Paris Agreement prioritize domestic energy security over international climate diplomacy. India's reliance on imported energy, which includes more than 85% of its crude oil and roughly 50% of its natural gas, poses a strategic vulnerability. The government aims to more than double natural gas' share of the energy mix to 15% by 2030. U.S. liquefied natural gas suppliers have surpassed the United Arab Emirates to become India's second-largest LNG supplier, trailing only Qatar. A key player in this unfolding saga is GAIL Ltd., India's state-owned natural gas company.”
“Trump's announcement of a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs, which could have raised duties on Indian exports, gave India a window to negotiate. The energy economics of this deal and its potential to reshape the global market for fossil fuels are fascinating. In his announcement, Mr. Vance declared, ``We want to sell more energy to India and also help it explore its resources, including offshore natural gas reserves and critical mineral supplies.'' The arrangement could propel India toward its long-standing goal of energy surplus. This feat appeared daunting, perhaps impossible, against the nation's projections for a massive increase in demand, the fastest-growing among major economies for the next two decades. Let's get it straight: India has a long way to go before it even contemplates reducing its consumption of hydrocarbons.”
“American partnership has never been more important with the world's oldest democracy allied with the world's largest democracy. An excellent analysis of this energy achievement was provided in the daily Threat Status newsletter from The Washington Times on April 28, 2025, by Vijay Jayaraj of the CO2 Coalition in Fairfax, Virginia: opinion In a landmark move that may well redefine the future of U.S.-India trade relations and global energy geopolitics, Vice President J.D. Vance announced a new trade deal with India. The day after he met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 21, Mr. Vance said the two countries had ``officially finalized the terms of reference for the trade negotiation.'' The deal, initiated against the backdrop of President Trump's tariff threats, could be a masterstroke of economic diplomacy. Mr.”

JOE WILSON of south carolina in the house of representatives Wednesday, April 30, 2025 Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, last week, Vice President J.D. Vance with his Indian-American wife Usha, achieved a global recalibration for energy independence meeting with America's appreciated ally Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is an extraordinary recognition of the positive impact of Indian- Americans that the Second Lady of America is an Indian-American herself.”
“The partnership generated more than $7 billion for South Carolina over the last 3 years, working with over 550 companies. Over 80 percent of the manufacturers have fewer than 20 employees, and these manufacturers are the size that the South Carolina Manufacturing Extension Partnership is uniquely serving. In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism continues. Open borders for dictators puts all Americans at risk of more 9/11 attacks, imminent as warned by the FBI. Trump is reinstituting existing laws to protect American families with peace through strength, revealing war criminal Putin's lies, rigging the election in the Republic of Georgia against legitimate President Salome Zourabichvili. The fake Georgian regime has falsely smeared President Donald Trump as ``a tool of the deep state.'' ____________________”

Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, under the Biden-Harris administration, America experienced wasteful spending harming families and destroying jobs. This week House Republicans will consider the Senate version of the budget and set forth budgetary levels for 2026. Originally introduced by House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington, this is essential for a single bill to enact the agenda of President Donald Trump.”
“Sadly, Houthi terrorists have been gaining ground in Yemen and are possibly taking over oilfields which would provide them resources to support terrorism. The Houthi rebels are armed by war criminal Putin and will be stopped. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful that just days after President Donald Trump took office, he designated the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization, as Houthis have attacked American ships. I am encouraged that the Trump administration is working with our regional partners, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman, to stop Houthi aggression. In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism continues. Open borders for dictators put all Americans at risk of more 9/11 attacks imminent as warned by the FBI.”

After the December collapse of the murderous Assad regime in Syria, when he fled to Moscow, the Tehran regime retains two conspirators, Yemen and Iraq, both supported by terrorist militias armed by war criminal Putin.”
