President Biden has imposed sanctions on Texas, specifically targeting the state's liquefied natural gas (LNG) development by halting its export opportunities. This move is widely interpreted as a punitive measure in response to Texas' defiance of federal policies. The sanctions are expected to have a significant negative impact on the Texas economy. Texas Land Commissioner and Attorney General Ken Paxton expressed his belief that the administration's actions were retaliatory and intended to harm the state's economy.
