WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is hosting the ruling leader of Qatar at the White House on Monday as he looks for the gas-rich nation to step up once again to help the West as it faces the prospect of a European energy crunch if Russia invades Ukraine.
Qatar is already producing at full capacity with much of its supply under contract to Asia. Even if some Pacific allies of the U.S. — including India, Japan and South Korea — are persuaded to divert some LNG orders it has contracted to Europe, it will only have a small impact in softening the blow, according to energy analysts.

Should be very entertaining for the Qatar leader
Brandon...No reason to leave our own backyard. We were energy sufficient until you took office and started shutting things down.
And he gets a free ice cream cone.
Of all the gaffes this clown has made, this one really ticks me off. President Trump left him an energy policy that made us net exporters. This guy destroyed that in one year by listening to idiots like The Squad.
And some more bribe money changes hands.
When his staff informed him of the meeting, Biden thought he is going to get a guitar lesson
Everything Biden does makes everything worse.
Well yeah because we have no energy issues here at home.
Biden probably thinks he’s going to meet a Quaker.
If I was the Emir or whatever, I’d remind Biden that until he took office the US was a net exporter of energy and could have taken up the slack. Then I would have thanked him for lunch and flown home.
Any gas that Gutter sends to Europe will result in Russian gas going to Asia, so this is a zero sum stupid game.
The USA is the largest exporter of natural gas in the world right now larger than under the Don check your facts. The USA over took the next largest which happens to be cutter they have been running flat out for years the USA is still.growing our LNG export chains. The Port of Corpus Christi reversed their LNG train from import to export recently.
