Houston Gas Briefing Breakfast
Synopsis
Since the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, the prospect of tariff wars has sent shockwaves through global markets. Tariff threats across North America, the imposition of 15% Chinese import tariff on US LNG, and US import tariffs on metals, such as steel and aluminum, are fueling uncertainty.
For the global gas market, these measures could disrupt infrastructure development, drive up costs, and alter established trade flows.
Join us on March 31 for an overview of Kpler’s 2025 roadmap for gas and LNG, as well as an in-depth analysis of how escalating tariffs could reshape the LNG landscape and what it means for key market players.
Date: Monday, March 31, 2025
Time: 7:30am - 11:00am
Location: Texas Tower, 12th Floor
Address: 845 Texas Ave, Houston, TX 77002
