U.S. ENERGY DOMINANCE
U.S. DOE - September 18, 2025 - This week, U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright concluded a 10-day trip across Europe with stops in Milan, Brussels, and Vienna, where he built upon President Trump’s bold energy agenda, strengthened long-term partnerships with European allies, and encouraged nations to join the United States in building a secure and prosperous energy future. The trip highlighted progress made in President Trump’s recent historic trade deal with the EU, which included an agreement from the EU to purchase $750 billion in U.S. energy and invest $600 billion in the United States by 2028.
Secretary Wright participated in a keynote fireside chat and press conference with energy officials and natural gas providers at the 2025 GasTech Conference in Milan, Italy. He highlighted President Trump’s commitment to growing gas exports and how U.S. gas strengthens global stability, lowers prices, and provides a reliable alternative to adversarial energy sources. Thanks to President Trump’s reversal of the Biden administration’s reckless pause on LNG exports, the United States has already approved more LNG export capacity than the volume exported by the world’s second-largest LNG supplier.
In Brussels, Belgium, Secretary Wright met with members of the European Parliament and Commission, stressing the benefits of U.S.-E.U. energy partnerships, ending Europe’s reliance on Russian oil and gas, and the need to shift away from policies that lead to more expensive energy and inhibit long-term energy agreements in the EU.
In Vienna, Austria, Secretary Wright delivered the U.S. National Statement at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) 69th General Conference, where he highlighted the leading role the United States plays in safeguarding safe civil nuclear power throughout the world. Secretary Wright mentioned the numerous actions President Trump and the Energy Department have taken to unleash the next American Nuclear Renaissance, such as reforming regulatory roadblocks, accelerating advanced nuclear technologies, reinvigorating America’s domestic supply chains, and implementing first-of-a-kind intergovernmental agreements to build American civil nuclear power plants in allied nations such as Poland.

Private companies import most of Europe's oil, while a mix of private and state-run companies import gas. The European Commission can aggregate demand for LNG to negotiate better terms, but cannot force companies to buy fuel. That is a commercial decision.

U.S. ENERGY SHORTAGE
An electricity shortage is bearing down on the nation and there are no easy fixes. Trump has laid out an energy policy that would emphasize oil and gas drilling and environmental controls and curbs on the rate of wind generation deployment. None of that will get us through the impending crisis as the demand for more electricity is surging.
