  • Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick promises to use all the tools at his disposal to address concerns about new ESG regulations imposed by the EU on U.S. businesses.

The article by David Blackmon for Forbes discusses comments made by Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, regarding the impact of the European Union's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) regulations on U.S. energy producers. Lutnick warns that these regulations, which are more stringent than those in the U.S., could lead to a significant reduction in U.S. energy exports to Europe. He argues that the EU's push towards sustainability might inadvertently increase reliance on Russian energy, as European companies might find it challenging to comply with the new regulations, potentially affecting the global energy market dynamics. Lutnick suggests that while the intention behind ESG is noble, the practical implications could harm U.S. energy companies and alter international energy trade patterns.
