The USA is not Gazprom, but Trump's decisions are not favorable to the free market – we asked the EU energy commissioner.

Dan Jorgensen, the Danish Minister for Energy and Housing, addressed concerns about Europe's energy dependence on the USA, emphasizing that the US operates in a free market and is not an enemy. He noted that while the EU has diversified its energy sources since 2022, Norway remains the primary partner, with the US now filling the gap left by Russia. Jorgensen criticized current US tariffs and energy policies that hinder free trade. He discussed ongoing cooperation with Hungary regarding the cessation of Russian gas supplies by 2027 and highlighted the need for energy efficiency and renewable sources. He also mentioned the importance of addressing corruption risks related to EU recovery funds and the potential for modular nuclear reactors in Hungary. Jorgensen concluded by stressing the EU's progress in renewable energy production, particularly in solar energy.
