Trump says he wants to slash the U.S. trade deficit and achieve what he calls "energy dominance."

Can the EU really ramp up imports of US energy as Trump demands?

Amid the chaotic lunges, feints and ripostes of his incipient trade war, Donald Trump has refloated the idea that Europe could close its trade deficit with the US by dramatically increasing imports of US energy.

If you don't want a trade war with America, you just have to transfer hundreds of billions of dollars for American oil and gas, says US President Donald Trump towards Europe. But the bill doesn't work out for the best.

Europe needs liquefied gas and could find it with the Americans, but the supply relationships with the EU are already tighter than the US President believes.

The EU has to dig deep into its pockets to buy off a trade war with the US. The US government wants to supply hundreds of billions more in energy.
