1. the EU has been buying American natural gas to supplement the one it no longer buys from Russia since February 2022. I live in one of the two countries that import the most.
2. yeah no wonder, the ruble is worth nothing and now he's won the cold war so he may as well use the stronger currency
3. lol, you trust the promise of terrorists now?
4. Zelensky had many with Biden as well. So long as the Russian army ravages his nation there's not much you can tell him on the phone
5. ah yeah the legendary caravan that forms a few days before an American election to then always magically disappear
6. The insediation is on Jan 20th and currently the pres is Biden. If you think the point aboves are accomplishments, congratulations to Biden lol
During the first Trump term, Juncker avoided more tariffs by assuring the U.S. president that Europe would facilitate more imports of liquefied natural gas (and more American soybeans.) In fact, the European Commission has no real power in determining European companies' purchases of LNG and soybeans, but Trump was happy to accept the political theater of parading data that European purchases were going up.
In the first half of this year, the U.S. already provided around 48 percent of the EU’s LNG imports, compared to Russia’s 16 percent.
Laurent Ruseckas, executive director for gas markets at commodities giant S&P Global, said any such deal on fossil fuels was likely to be more about politics than energy.
“The EU doesn't buy LNG — there's a global LNG market and LNG buyers have their own contracts,” he said. “It's certainly possible to do a memorandum of understanding to talk about increasing purchases but ultimately in the past that's been a way to put a political wrapper around something that was delivered by the market. And the EU is buying as much LNG currently as the market needs.”
2. Putin has never indicated he's now folding and wants to get paid is USD. What's going on, is that Putin is trying to force all Russian energy producers to merge. Putin is denying the WSJ report.
3. Qatar pulled out of the peace negotiations, indicating that it's a waste of its time, because neither Israel nor Hamas are interested in peace, and when they change their mind, they should give Qatar a call.
4. Musk seems to be living at Mar-A-Lago now, and sticking to Trump 24/7. The call was "good to chat with you, hope the lobster at Mar-A-Lago is good".
5. Mexico did not break down any caravans. There was a group of about 3,000 people trying to reach the US. About half decided to give up.
But I do look forward to Trump giving us world peace.
