Lawmakers Kevin Cramer and Mark Warner to introduce legislation to fund US Export-Import Bank

Senators will introduce legislation on Wednesday to reauthorise funding for the US Export-Import Bank for the next decade, as lawmakers try to inject an extra $70bn into an agency that plays an increasingly central role in shoring up energy and minerals projects.
