Ex-Im Bank projects under Bush and Obama
During Barack Obama's presidency Ex-Im Bank approved roughly three times more financing for fossil fuel projects than it provided during George W. Bush's eight-year term. The bank was blocked from making new investments in July 2015 and was only fully operational for 6.5 of Obama's eight years in office.
