This initiative will be made public during US President Joe Biden's visit to Europe this week, say American officials who have recognised this plan, reports The Guardian” on Thursday. [...]
The announcement will come after European officials have urged the US to do more to help reduce dependence on Russian energy sources.
National Security Adviser in the Biden administration, Jake Sullivan, has said the deal could be made public Friday. According to an American official, it is intended to provide supplies of American natural gas and hydrogen to Europe.
“A priority for both the president and his European allies is to reduce Europe's dependence on Russian gas and virtually become a plan with steps to be taken, how the US can contribute and what Europe itself can do, said Sullivan.
Speaking to European deputies in Brussels on Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leenen has said that “all EU members could contribute to the reduction of Russian gas dependence”.
