Guilfoyle: "Vertical Corridor" Key to Europe's Energy Security

U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, has emphasized that ending Europe's reliance on Russian energy is a clear priority for the President of the United States. The European Union's adoption of the RePowerEU legislation, aiming to completely end imports of Russian gas by the fall of 2027, is considered a crucial step in this direction. Guilfoyle highlighted the U.S.'s readiness to bolster the supply of reliable gas to European countries through projects like the "Vertical Corridor," which leverages American and Greek energy infrastructure. According to the Ambassador, such initiatives strengthen energy security, contribute to economic growth, and support Europe's energy future. The statement comes amid heightened concerns about the energy crisis in Europe, which has been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia. Strengthening energy cooperation between the U.S. and Europe is seen as critical to addressing this challenge.
