I can hear the screams now. That's OUR gas! Give it to us and reduce our gasoline prices!Joe Biden has agreed a landmark energy supply deal with the EU under which the US will increase transatlantic gas deliveries, in the hope of weakening the power the Kremlin wields thanks to its natural resources.
Speaking in Brussels after the deal was agreed on Friday, the US president said Vladimir Putin exploited Russia’s status as Europe’s main supplier of gas to “coerce and manipulate his neighbours” and that the proceeds of gas and oil sales “drive his war machine”. He said the partnership with the EU would strip Putin of that weapon by reducing Europe’s dependence on Russian energy, as well as the continent’s overall gas demand.

We don't often make it to paragraph three.Under the plan, the US and other nations will increase exports of seaborne liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe by 15bn cubic metres this year. Even larger shipment volumes would be delivered in the future, he promised.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
