Additional LNG supplies: US and EU announce energy partnership

The rendez-vous is scheduled to take place at 9 a.m. today at the US ambassador’s residence in Brussels. President Joe Biden and Ursula von der Leyen plan to present a deal there on supplies of liquefied natural gas to Europe, which the US hopes will help Europe replace Russian gas supplies. On the sidelines of the EU summit on Thursday, the Commission President spoke of a „new chapter“ in an energy partnership with the US and an important step forward. Specifically, the US is to hold out the prospect of deliveries of up to 15 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas by the end of this year.
