Such statements are contained in the document of the European Commission "LNG trade between the EU and the USA".
“The data show that in 2021, LNG exports to the EU were the highest in terms of volume, amounting to over 22 billion cubic meters with an estimated value of €12 billion. In January 2022, imports reached a maximum monthly value of 4.4 billion cubic meters… this is estimated at €4.1 billion, ”RIA Novosti quotes the text of the document.
As stated, further actions will be taken to "make the United States the main supplier of gas to Europe."
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the United States is trying to occupy part of the European energy market, using the political situation in the region created by the Americans themselves.
Moscow recalled that the United States is not even able to partially cover the volume of energy supplies that Russia provides to the EU countries.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak noted that the launch of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline today could stabilize the situation on the European gas market.
