Interesting development in Mozambique's energy sector – President Daniel Chapo is pushing TotalEnergies hard to restart their massive $20B liquefied natural gas venture. The twist? There's still an active audit happening over the company's extra cost requests. Talk about pressure tactics. This kind of high-stakes negotiation between governments and energy giants always has ripple effects on commodity markets and investor confidence. When projects of this scale get delayed or face political friction, capital tends to look for alternative opportunities. Worth watching how this plays out – $20 billion doesn't just sit idle.

Mozambique's game is interesting; 2 billion USD stuck in audits, always revealing the government's tricks.

This tug-of-war between the government and energy giants is a old trick... 2 billion says it's frozen, but capital has long moved elsewhere.

$20 billion is stuck here, it must be so frustrating... With government pressure and audit delays, how can TotalEnergies handle this?

$2 billion is stuck in auditing, and the president can really play the government like a fiddle, haha.

2 billion dollars are stuck in the audit; this move is ruthless. Total Energy will have to pay more.

2 billion USD is frozen; this political game is being played way too hard.
