Europe's growing reliance on American natural gas raises concerns about dependency

A new study from a think tank warns that the European Union is becoming increasingly dependent on natural gas imported from the United States. The report describes this as a 'high-risk dependency' that could make Europe vulnerable, especially with the potential for a second Trump presidency.

This reliance has grown significantly since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as Europe sought to replace Russian gas. The analysis suggests this shift has given the U.S., and potentially a future Trump administration, significant leverage over European energy security.
