Trump Wants to Make Natural Gas Part of NATO Discussions
The Washington Examiner reported: President Trump wants to make natural gas part of the negotiations on reforming the NATO alliance between European members and the United States. Germany and other NATO members are “buying massive amounts of gas from Russia and paying billions and billions of dollars,” Trump said Thursday before sitting down for talks with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the White House. “So, I think that’s something we’ll be discussing later and we’ll be discussing that at our meeting,” Trump said. It wasn’t clear how Trump wants to use natural gas in his discussions about European members paying their fair share of the alliance’s military costs. However, the Trump administration has been clear that reliance on energy from Russia places Europe at risk of being manipulated through the threat of supply cuts.
