BREAKING: Following Trump’s Victory, EU Commission President Says They Now Want to Buy Oil from the United States, Not Russia (Video)

In a stunning post-election shift, European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has announced plans to increase American energy imports, particularly liquefied natural gas (LNG), in a bid to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian energy. With Trump back in office, she’s looking to replace Russian LNG with American exports, a move that promises to ease Europe’s energy prices and cut their reliance on Moscow.

“We still get a lot of [liquified natural gas] from Russia,” von der Leyen explained, “and why not replace it by American LNG, which is cheaper for us and brings down our energy prices.” Her statement comes as European nations struggle with soaring energy costs and security concerns, issues Trump has long highlighted as a reason for Europe to pivot away from Russian energy and rely more on American resources.

The deal is also expected to include oil!
This proposal signals a remarkable alignment between U.S. and European interests, with Europe now prioritizing affordable American LNG as a staple of its energy policy. Trump’s victory is already making waves on the global stage, pressuring other nations to reconsider alliances, trade agreements, and energy partnerships in light of the pro-energy, pro-American production approach he brings to the White House.

With von der Leyen’s statement, it’s clear that Europe recognizes a rare opportunity for stability in its energy imports. This may be the first step in a larger shift toward U.S.-EU energy alignment, further isolating Russia’s gas exports and strengthening U.S.-EU ties on issues of trade and energy independence.
