Partnership Statement on Biden Administration Ban on Russian Energy Exports

Statement attributable to Bob Harvey, President and CEO, Greater Houston Partnership:

“The administration’s ban on Russian energy imports should be commended. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a violation of Ukraine’s national sovereignty and we stand by the Ukrainian people. We encourage President Biden and his administration to work with domestic energy producers to increase our capacity to meet the domestic and international demand for oil and gas without reliance on Russia. The Houston energy industry is positioned to be a partner in reducing international dependence on Russian energy and helping to increase the world’s security.”
