Emmanuel Macron Slammed U.S. Trade And Energy "Double Standard" Policies by bn365: 1:31pm On Oct 23, 2022 |
Macron called out U.S. and Norway as energy producers who make "the real superprofits" benefitting from "geopolitical war unearned income." He said he has discussed the topic "in a friendly way" with his U.S. and Norwegian counterparts. "The North American economy is making choices for the sake of attractiveness, which I respect, but they create a double standard" with lower energy prices domestically while selling natural gas to Europe at record prices, Macron said at a news conference in Brussels following a meeting of European Union leaders. "In addition they allow state aid going to up to 80% on some sectors while it's banned here -- you get a double standard," he added. "It comes down to the sincerity of transatlantic trade," he added. During a parliament debate, French finance minister Bruno Le Maire criticized the U.S. for selling liquefied natural gas to European companies at "four times the prices at which it sells it" domestically. |

Does he expected USA LNG to cheap after his German counterparts refused to allow gas on NS2 and they sanctioned Russia. Is that not the reason Qatar deal failed because Qatar gas costed more than 2 times of Russia gas and Azeri government is buying Russia gas and reselling to EU at 2 times more because Russia even own around 30% of Azeri state owned gas. Reason OPEC agreed to cut oil production output by 2M per barrel was EU and USA planned price cap on Russia oil because it will affect Saudi and Co more than Russia. 5 Likes |

jesmond3945:Even today, the former French president said EU should have never sanctioned Russia to that extent because it’s obvious the sanctions are affecting EU and USA citizens, EU citizens for over 40 years have never see things so hard like now compare to Russia citizens. Reason Far Right politicians are leading now in EU election is because of high price of things which is not good for EU imagine. All those far right what to remove sanctions from Russia and just last week, Austria government said they will not allow Ukrainians to come again, they cannot accommodate them anymore because they citizens are complaining. Russians don’t care about price of oil, gas and foods compare to Eu and USA citizens but unlike USA that at least still get oil from Saudi, because Saudi have not increased price of oil and gas for USA in years until recently last month compared to Asia and EU. USA buys Russia oil and Co then sell it to its allies at over 4 times price, who be the mumu? 1 Like |
