# Trump’s Mexico Feud May Send Natural Gas to $2 If Exports End - Bloomberg

> Analysts at Tudor Pickering Holt and Again Capital say US natural gas could fall about 40% to $2/MMBtu or lower if President Trump's dispute with Mexico escalates and pipeline exports to Mexico are halted. Those exports were as much as 5% of US gas production last year, though the analysts do not expect a full cutoff.

## Why it matters

A halt in pipeline exports would create a domestic gas surplus and push prices down, which would lower energy costs for US feed and ethanol plants.
