The US will provide Europe with $ 1 billion to give up energy resources from Russia. The corresponding bill was submitted to Congress by the Senator from the Republican Party, Ron Johnson and his fellow Democrat Chris Murphy.. The document says that America is committed to helping finance European energy projects.. According to the American politicians, this will help the EU countries "resist the influence of Russia", according to Murphy's website. "Russia, along with bribery, corruption and propaganda, uses its dominance in the energy market to undermine Western institutions and establish (in Europe) more compliant, malleable governments that cannot or will not oppose Russia or its president, Vladimir Putin," Democratic senator. Now most of Europe is sitting tight on Russian gas..

If the United States helps to find new sources of energy for the Old World, this will not only undermine Russia's control position over the continent, but also create new jobs in America.. "The US has rightly invested billions in strengthening military defense in Eastern Europe. But let's not forget about the equally dangerous consequences of Russia's energy dominance in Europe. By helping our allies secure new sources of energy and contribute to strategically important projects, we can help break the grip of Putin in Europe and create new jobs here in the US, "the politicians said in a statement.. American authorities have long been obsessed with dominating the global energy market.. They dream of supplying liquefied natural gas and shale oil to Europe. Thus, Washington is going to kill two birds with one stone: to press Russia out of the European market in order to diversify the market and not allow Moscow to use energy supplies as an instrument of pressure on Europe, and make good money by itself.

For this, political forces inside the United States are calling for a ban on the construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline.. In Europe, we are ready to invest in the construction of terminals for liquefied natural gas, but on one condition - if American fuel will be supplied at competitive prices.

But this is the main problem: LNG from the USA is too expensive. It costs European consumers an average of 30% more expensive than the Russian pipeline. In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany the other day stated that the supply of American gas to Europe does not have prospects. At the same time, both Moscow and Berlin unequivocally state: despite the growth in Russian gas supplies to Europe, there can be no talk of any political or energy dependence of the EU on Russia.
