European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has an idea for reducing the bloc’s consumption of Russian liquefied natural gas: import more from America.

Ursula von der Leyen has already proposed a new strategy to counter Trump's threat of tariffs - buying more liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US. Von der Leyen's plan aims to reduce tensions and maintain cooperation between the EU and the US as Trump has previously promised to impose tariffs of up to 20% on foreign goods to protect American jobs.
