EU Worried About Dependence on US Natural Gas

The European Union is expressing growing concern about its dependence on US liquefied natural gas (LNG), after replacing Russian gas. The crisis in Greenland served as a “wake-up call,” prompting the EU to consider diversifying its supplies, seeking alternative sources from Canada, Qatar and North Africa. This development contrasts with the EU's commitments to increase imports of US gas and oil, as part of an agreement with the United States.
