Due to the principle of supply and demand, Trump’s policies on increasing the US export of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) will, in effect, benefit only the wealthy American LNG corporations — at the expense of his own US citizens who will pay more domestically for natural gas as a direct result of Trump’s actions.

So, this is, in effect a subsidy to one fossil fuel sector that is done in stealth: Instead of paying for this subsidy with their tax money, US citizens will be paying for this stealth subsidy by paying more domestically for natural gas.
