A small but influential group of House Republicans said Friday they would put strings on new federal funding to replace the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore , which collapsed after a support was hit by a massive container ship March 26.
Those conditions included that any new money be offset by savings elsewhere in the government; that federal regulations that could slow down reconstruction be loosened; and that the Biden administration roll back its pause on the approval of new liquified natural gas export terminals. Reversing the LNG facility pause has also been considered by Republicans as a proposed condition for approving new aid to Ukraine as it fends off a brutal Russian invasion.
