Qatar's energy minister said he isn't too concerned about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's pledge to lift the cap on liquefied natural gas exports. "Additional gas is going to be required, whether it is from the U.S., Qatar or other places. So additional LNG and additional competition is welcome," Saad Sherida Al Kaabi, Qatar's energy minister and CEO of state gas company QatarEnergy, told CNBC's Dan Murphy at the Doha Forum on Dec. 7. "It will all depend on supply, demand and the long-term outlook for these companies," he added, saying "I don't worry much about it." The U.S. and Qatar have held onto their position as the world's biggest LNG suppliers, with a combined market share of almost 50%.
