WASHINGTON, May 29 (Reuters) - Sempra's ( SRE ) Port

Arthur Phase 2 project in Texas has won U.S. approval to export

liquefied natural gas to markets in Europe and Asia, the

Department of Energy said on Thursday.

It was the first final LNG export approval under President

Donald Trump who reversed a pause on the approvals that former

President Biden had ordered to study the economic and

environmental impacts of the booming business.
