The European Union is considering a significant increase in liquefied natural gas imports from the United States, driven by pressure from President Trump’s tariff demands for trade balance adjustments. This move could reshape EU-US energy dependencies and trade dynamics. While US President Trump seeks to utilize tariffs as leverage for increased American energy purchases, the EU navigates balancing its energy security needs with climate goals in this sensitive context. Negotiations are underway between the EU and the US, involving high-level discussions by both parties, including Ursula von der Leyen, key figures advocating for this strategy. The outcome could significantly influence European gas prices and energy strategies.
