Trump Notches A Major Victory Against Russia After US Natural Gas Exports To EU Skyrocket

Imports of U.S. natural gas to the European Union have climbed nearly 300 percent since 2016, with the bulk of that increase coming after President Donald Trump met with European officials in 2017 to flesh out a trade deal.

 

The EU made the announcement Thursday ahead of a meeting between U.S. and European business leaders in Brussels on ways to further increase natural gas trade. The meeting is featuring Energy Secretary Rick Perry and EU Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy Miguel Arias Cañete.

 

“We share a history of transatlantic cooperation, through good times and bad, and together, we promote our heritage of freedom,” Perry said in a press statement. “When it comes to natural gas, we each have what the other needs to derive tremendous mutual benefit from advancing our energy relationship.”

 

Trump has lobbied intensely for European countries to shift their energy imports from Russia to the U.S., if for no other reason than to diversify their energy markets. He told world leaders at a Group of 20 summit in 2017 that the U.S. wants to make it easier for companies to ship natural gas products to Eastern Europe.
