The European Union, as well as some Asian governments, are considering buying more energy from the world’s largest oil producer and exporter of liquefied natural gas. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen floated the idea last year that U.S. imports could replace consumption of Russian liquefied natural gas.Advertisement: Trump seeks to boost U.S. energy development by declaring an energy emergency and lifting a ban on offshore oil and gas leases that effectively blocked drilling in most US coastal waters. He also overturned the Biden administration’s ban on approving new LNG export plants. “We are going to make a lot of money in energy. We have more than anyone else,” Trump said. Trump also said his administration would impose 25 percent tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada starting February 1.
