"President Trump is expected to make U.S.-produced natural gas a key part of discussions when he meets with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi this month, according to White House press secretary Sean Spicer.

"U.S. energy and technologies, including natural gas, are helping to build Prime Minister Modi's vision for a new India in creating thousands of U.S. jobs in the process," Spicer said. Trump is slated to meet with Modi June 26.

The Trump administration has raised the prospect of the U.S. and India increasing collaboration on natural gas exports from the United States. The U.S. has become a natural gas leader because of fracking and the shale boom, and India has a growing economy in search of new, reliable sources of energy.
