Woodside weighs Trump tariff impact on $1.2 billion Louisiana LNG project
SYDNEY (Reuters) -Woodside Energy , Australia’s top gas producer, said on Wednesday it was assessing the impact of U.S. tariffs and other trade measures on its Louisiana liquefied natural gas plant project as it inches towards a final go-ahead. Woodside acquired the project, formerly called Driftwood, from Tellurian for $1.2 billion last year to position itself as a “global LNG powerhouse”. In a quarterly update, CEO Meg O’Neill said the company was “assessing the potential impacts of recent tariff announcements and potential further trade measures on Louisiana LNG”, after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed universal tariffs on nearly all trading partners this month.
