HOUSTON, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Cheniere Energy

plans to aggressively pursue liquefied natural gas regulatory

permits now that U.S. President Donald Trump is in office,

thereby reducing regulatory risks for future growth, the

company's CEO Jack Fusco said on Thursday.

Cheniere plans to double its current LNG production to 90

million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) by building more export

facilities at Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi, both in Texas,

Fusco also said.

Construction on Cheniere Energy's Corpus Christi Stage 3 LNG

plant is currently moving ahead of schedule, Fusco added.
