Biden administration officials are holding several meetings over next
several days with European energy officials to discuss two major topics:
how to keep energy flowing to Europe and how to ease growing tensions
about the United States’ role as the continent’s leading gas supplier.
While Europe has turned to the U.S. to help with its energy needs after
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the continent is wary of relying on U.S.
supplies. POLITICO’s Ben Lefebvre discusses why these meetings are being
held and what both the United States and Europe hope to accomplish.
Plus, the International Energy Agency’s new landmark report says
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine marks a ‘turning point’ for global fossil
fuel demand and could accelerate the world’s green transition.
