Rob Portman (R-OH) argued that the most important sanctions the U.S. can impose on Russia would be getting other countries to cut off Russian energy imports by providing more energy ourselves and tightening sanctions on energy transactions.<\/p>\n<p>Portman said, [relevant remarks begin around 2:20] \u201cThe number one revenue source for Russia is energy. So, it\u2019s their biggest export, it\u2019s where they\u2019re getting most of the revenue to fund the war machine. So, we\u2019ve to do more to cut that off. There are some countries that are very dependent on Russian gas, in particular, in Europe, where that\u2019s more difficult. But look, we did it here, we cut off, not just oil and gas, but also coal exports. And we need to have other countries do the same. In order to help some of these European countries deal with this transition away from the Russian fuel, we should be providing them more of our own fuel. Because we\u2019ve got plenty of it, as do other countries that are willing to help, particularly in the Mideast, and that would be liquified natural gas going into these countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>He continued, \u201cSo, I think we should immediately enter into contracts for liquified natural gas, let the Europeans, like Germany, know that we\u2019re going to be there to help them, other countries, like Qatar, are willing to do the same thing. That\u2019s going to be the most important sanction left, which is to cut off this revenue that he\u2019s getting to fund the war machine. By the way, we also, in our country, have sanctions on banks that we\u2019ve put out, but some of these sanctions don\u2019t go into effect as they relate to energy transactions until June 24, that\u2019s way too late. So, we\u2019ve got to also tighten up what we\u2019re doing with regard to the financial sanctions as they relate to energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Ian\u00a0Hanchett on Twitter\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday\u2019s broadcast of the Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cAmerica Reports,\u201d Sen.
