Trump Threatens Tariffs If EU Doesn’t Buy More US Oil and Gas
Trump Threatens Tariffs If EU Doesn’t Buy More US Oil and Gas
Further proof he doesn't even know what the word means
I'd be surprised if he could spell his own name at this point.
The EU is capable of resisting Trump pretty well. However many countries are not. That is honesty the real problem here.
Short term, the countries that can’t say no, will say yes. However, they will seek alternative markets for purchase and sale. It damages the relationship for short term gain, all paid by the business and American consumer.

Trump solicited a billion dollar bribe from the oil industry, so now he needs to put money in their pocket.
This is the most Putin sounding shit I ever read
American does generic American thing: "this is just like the foreign bad guys in my TV show!"
It's just a bad move and stupid threat. I don't want Russian oil and gas...
von der Leyen's sycophancy is the most worrying part of the article, even as individual EU countries, German minister quote, suggests resistance.
EU already signed significant O&G long term contracts after Ukraine war. Even as they are reducing NG and coal electricity by 10% this year, and on path for another 10% every next year, longer term supply lock ins is certain to slow that progress in addition to promoting more global/US development.
