Using U.S. Energy as Leverage || Peter Zeihan
Peter Zeihan warns that the United States could weaponize its growing liquefied natural gas (LNG) capacity against Europe if trade talks falter. The U.S. now ships roughly 12 billion cubic feet of LNG daily, supplying about 30% of the EU’s gas imports. A sudden curtailment would spike European energy prices and force policymakers to seek alternative sources. Zeihan frames the move as a classic geopolitical lever in an era of strained transatlantic relations.
