@justsomestreamer8315 False. You are referring to the NATO summit in Brussels where in talking to the heads of NATO, Trump said it was, “sad when Germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with Russia, where you’re supposed to be guarding against Russia.” This was said by Trump to criticize Germany for spending so little on NATO and its defense. In that speech Trump lied in saying that 50-70% of Germany’s energy will be reliant on Russia. First off, the pipeline that was being discussed only bring in natural gas, and not crude oil. I know in Trump’s head it’s all the same, but in reality it isn’t. Even though half of German natural gas came from Russia, that accounts to just 10% of German energy supplies and consumption. The pipeline in question was NordStream.
Furthermore, Trump was being naturally disingenuous because he knew very well that Germany had no other possible source of natural gas. The US was (and is) unable to export any sizable LNG quantities to Europe.
Meanwhile, the US imported 672,000 barrels of crude oil from Russia EACH DAY. On top of that, Russia was one of the largest suppliers of unfinished oil and fuel oil to the US, peaking at about 370,000 barrels per day for unfinished oil in 2019.
Furthermore, no one laughed at those comments. You’re just a pathetic little troll. Sad.
