AI Summary
This bill, the Midland Over Moscow Act, aims to strengthen U.S. energy independence and reduce Europe's dependence on Russian oil and gas. Key provisions include:
1. Requiring the Secretary of State to develop a strategy within 180 days to use diplomatic, financial, and economic means to make European countries less dependent on Russian energy, including by reducing regulatory barriers to domestic energy production and using sanctions on Russia's financial sector and the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
2. Imposing sanctions on entities involved in the planning, construction, maintenance, or operation of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, including blocking their property and denying them U.S. visas.
3. Amending the Natural Gas Act to expedite the approval process for natural gas exports to any nation not subject to U.S. sanctions or trade restrictions, while allowing the President or Congress to exclude certain nations for national security reasons.
The overall goal is to bolster U.S. and European energy security by reducing reliance on Russian energy sources.
