House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he plans to promote US natural gas exports at a meeting with his Group of Seven counterparts in Japan.
McCarthy said the G-7 meeting of parliamentary speakers would discuss energy policy. He framed his agenda in the context of Europe’s efforts to wean itself off Russian gas in response to President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year.
McCarthy faulted President Joe Biden’s response to the deadly fire in Hawaii, citing Biden’s “no comment” to reporters when asked about the deaths during a vacation in Delaware — a comment also criticized by Republican nomination front-runner Donald Trump. As the 2024 election campaign kicks into a higher gear after last week’s first Republican debate, McCarthy renewed his signals that the GOP could launch an impeachment inquiry into Biden focused on his family’s finances.
He cited evidence gathered by House investigators, including testimony by an Internal Revenue Service official who has alleged that the federal government slow-walked an inquiry into Hunter Biden, the president’s son.
