President Donald Trump will use fast-growing supplies of U.S. natural gas as a political tool when he meets in Warsaw on Thursday with leaders of a dozen countries that are captive to Russia for their energy needs.
In recent years, Moscow has cut off gas shipments during pricing disputes with neighboring countries in winter months. Exports from the United States would help reduce their dependence on Russia.
Trump will tell the group that Washington wants to help allies by making it as easy as possible for U.S. companies to ship more liquefied natural gas (LNG) to central and eastern Europe, the White House said.
Trump will attend the "Three Seas" summit - so named because several of its members surround the Adriatic, Baltic and Black Seas - before the Group of 20 leading economies meet in Germany, where he is slated to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time.
Among the aims of the Three Seas project is to expand regional energy infrastructure, including LNG import terminals and gas pipelines. Members of the initiative include Poland, Austria, Hungary and Russia's neighbors Latvia and Estonia.

And yet again, Drill Baby, Drill!
Great idea, competing with Russia on their own turf and hitting them where it hurts—in the wallet
Because collusion.
Yes!
And yet again, Drill Baby, Drill!
And sail baby sail! A pipeline on the high seas.
What’s with this “Russia’s backyard” stuff? If Russia wants to have a yard then they have it in their own country. These 12 are their own countries and do not belong to Russia.
Reserving my opinion....I think the headline is “manipulative”....aka....antagonistic. It’s what we don’t need.
would it be feasible to lay a natgas pipeline from maine to scotland, i wonder
Backyard? A little Cold War lingo from Reuters.
-——What’s with this “Russia’s backyard-——
What’s the big deal....?
Reuters always refer to Canada and Mexico as America backyard.../ S
Yes, President Trump is 'amazingly' Presidential!
Those of us who have been Trumpers from the beginning (we have been since he announced that day a couple years ago) are not surprised. He is amazing. He is Presidential. He is redefining 'Presidential'.
Winning!
Trump’s a bada$$ mutha you know what.
So far everyone who has opposed him, has been not only defeated but embarrassingly so.
For the first time in a long long time it’s a pleasure to wake up and turn on the news.
Oh. Poor Putinistas.
Tesla wanted to do that with electricity. He knew how to send it from Niagara Falls to Europe without wires.
Did the President say this or Fake News?
Now if we could do the same for mideast oil...
This is just one more example of Rooters not understanding how business works. My prediction is that U.S. natural gas firms will (1) offer delivered prices to overseas consumers, then (2) offer them perhaps a better price if they sign up for a multi-year contract. Somewhere in there, the U.S. companies will probably also seek to become the favorite for the next bidding round, leaving the Russkies to burn their Franklin stoves at full tilt while gulping down their vodka!
Seems like something out of "The Art of the Deal"....
Have the Saudis stop Yemeni LNG to all the players.
Promote US LNG to everybody.
Woop Woop! can’t stop the winning.
