Leslie Chats with Tarek Souki on US LNG Financing , Global Trade and Family Business Dynamics

In this Energy Vista episode, Leslie Palti-Guzman sits down with Tarek Souki, an energy executive with deep experience in the U.S. LNG industry through his roles at Cheniere Energy and Tellurian. Together, they unpack the challenges of financing LNG projects, and whether America can maintain its competitive edge in the global LNG race.

How do financing hurdles, long-term contracts, and regulatory uncertainty shape the future of US LNG? What role do geopolitics and trade tensions play in securing buyers?  And is Venture Global a true market disruptor or a company testing the limits of the system?

Tarek also reflects on his career path, from investment banking to working alongside his father, LNG pioneer Charif Souki, and shares insights on navigating family business dynamics.
