The European Union is looking to replace US liquefied natural gas (LNG) with supplies from Canada, Qatar and North Africa. This comes amid tensions between the US and the EU over Greenland.
Energy and Housing Commissioner of the European Union Dan Jorgensen has stated this, his words are cited by Bloomberg.
According to him, the recent events around Greenland have become an alarming development for the European Union, which is more than half dependent on LNG supplies from the United States. Amid the crisis in relations, the EU is actively looking for an opportunity to increase the supply of liquefied natural gas from other countries.
"We are speaking to countries around the world that are able to deliver LNG to us. I definitely hear this when speaking to energy ministers and heads of state from all over Europe that there is a growing concern," Jorgensen said.
He added that he would soon hold meetings with potential LNG suppliers.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on January 26, the Council of the European Union adopted a regulation on the gradual cessation of pipeline and liquefied gas imports from the aggressor country russia from 2027.
