In an article from BB Trump is quoted:
"And we are already talking to the European Union about building anywhere from 9 to 11 ports, which they will pay for, so that we can ship our LNG over to various parts of Europe. And that will be more competition,” Trump added."

9 to 11
Coincidence?
He didn't choose to say "up to 11" ports".
He didn't choose to say "10 or even 11 ports".
No, he chose to say
9 to 11
And then he says
which they will pay for
The EU doesn't want American LNG, they already invested a lot of money for North Stream pipelines 1 and 2.
Why would they pay for ports for American gas?
How many ports?
9 to 11
which they will pay for
says Trump.
