Denmark hails 'very constructive' meeting with US over Greenland
- On Wednesday, the European Union announced it will step up efforts to diversify away from U.S. LNG, citing recent White House announcements that have deep security implications, officials said.

- Seeking alternatives, the EU is increasing reliance on Norway, which now supplies about 30% of its gas, while Jørgensen said Europe will pursue deals with Canada, Qatar and Algeria.
- After Russia cut pipeline supplies, Gazprom broke agreements post-2022 invasion, so the European Union expanded imports from Norway and LNG capacity as analysts note allies 'derisking' from the United States.
