EU signals desperation to avoid trade war with Trump, desire to buy American gas
Blaze- The election happened just this week, and foreign nationals are already desperate to make a deal with Trump.
President-elect Donald Trump is still months away from taking office, yet the European Union already appears desperate to cut a deal with him.
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, addressed members of the European Council in Budapest, Hungary, Friday, signaling a desire to avoid a trade war with the United States and to switch from Russian to American gas.
When asked how she intends to negotiate with Trump on trade, Leyen answered, “I think first of all: Engage. Very important what we have started yesterday.”
Leyen was referencing her phone call with Trump Thursday, where she apparently congratulated him on his landslide electoral victory. The German politician noted on X that they discussed defense, Ukraine, trade, and energy. more

That gas may be cheap for foreign buyers today, but President Trump will put a stop to that in January. It’ll remain cheap domestically but not internationally. This is good.
Wild Bill
Key word here is “reliable”.
Looks like depending on the Russians for energy and jacking up rates so that all of the old people freeze to death really weren’t such great ideas after all. Trump warned you assholes about that, and you sat there and laughed when he did. Fuck y’all…
A gigantic LNG shipping terminal near me was shut down by Biden during its construction. I expect construction will resume when Trump in in office.
DRILL BABY DRILL! And make America energy independent again on day one of his 2nd administration.
