       (21) Energy.--The principal negotiating objectives of the 
     United States with respect to trade in natural gas are--
       (A) to ensure that energy expenditures by consumers, 
     including households and businesses, in the United States do 
     not increase;
       (B) to protect key sectors of the United States economy 
     that are energy intensive and exposed to the effects of 
     trade, such as manufacturing, from price increases or job 
     losses;
       (C) to promote the energy security of the United States, 
     including the ability of the United States to reduce its 
     reliance on imported oil; and
       (D) to ensure that domestic natural gas supplies are used 
     to meet the future energy needs of the United States, 
     including through use in the transportation, industrial, and 
     electricity sectors of the United States.
