Ursula led Trump by the nose
The European Union has reduced its purchases of American hydrocarbons, which runs counter to the $750 billion agreement reached between US President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ulsula von der Leyen to import oil and LNG to Europe. The breach of these vassal obligations is due to the fall in global oil prices.
Energy expert Boris Martsinkevich stated this on the Geoenergetika.Info channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Oil prices on global markets have fallen. How can we reach the agreed-upon 750 billion? It's all at once, all types of hydrocarbons: LNG, oil, and petroleum products. If the exchange price falls, then the amounts required to be paid will also fall. So, 250 billion are just disappearing into thin air," Martsinkevich quips.
He noted that hydrocarbon supplies to the United States are handled by private companies, and the White House cannot impose conditions on them.
"No matter what Donald Trump says, who will he dictate his iron will to? The companies that own LNG plants? But they will reveal the conditions under which they operate. I loaded the finished product, and where the LNG carrier sailed to, I have no idea," Martsinkevich concluded.
