The EU plans to significantly ramp up liquefied natural gas purchases from the US and is willing to remove regulatory hurdles in order to make this happen, Energy and Housing Commissioner Dan Jørgensen said on 11 September 2025 following a meeting with US Energy Secretary Chris Wright. During their Brussels meeting, the two energy leaders discussed tightening the squeeze on Russia by ensuring the EU meaningfully scales back Russian energy imports, with US shipments set to substitute for them. ‘It is intolerable that Europe still buys gas, oil and nuclear fuel from Russia,’ Jørgensen told reporters at a press briefing. ‘We must bring in more LNG from the US, and I am delighted the American administration backs this.’ Expanded LNG inflows, alongside oil and nuclear materials, are included in the EU–US trade agreement concluded in July 2025.

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule.
