US poised to become EU's top gas supplier this year

The United States is set to become the European Union's leading gas supplier in 2026, marking a significant shift in energy imports. The development comes after years of EU efforts to reduce dependence on Russian gas following the Ukraine invasion. However, analysts warn that Europe has failed to achieve genuine diversification and long-term supply security on both fronts, suggesting continued vulnerability in the bloc's energy strategy despite increased LNG imports from America.
