"Biden's Gas Export Rethink Sends Chills Through Europe"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by POLITICO
The Biden administration's review of US natural gas export permits is causing concern in Europe, where the energy industry relies on American gas to meet its demands and reduce reliance on Russian gas. The reassessment, driven by climate concerns, could stall projects and create tensions as Europe tries to counter Russia's influence. While the EU has significantly reduced its intake of Russian gas by increasing imports of US liquefied natural gas, a potential slowdown in US exports could push European companies to seek contracts with other suppliers like Qatar, impacting the region's energy security and supply routes.
