    Honestly surprised the Republicans and Democrats aren’t on board with a blanket ban on foreign interests converting natural resources like this for export. If the argument is that they can’t prevent a business from operating, sure, but you can sure stop them from exporting.

      You are overlooking the simple fact that politicians can all be bribed by those foreign interests pouring dark money into a PAC or two.
