[Investigation] How the EU’s methane rules came undone, and ended up giving Trump exactly what he wanted

EU ambassadors will meet to discuss delaying methane regulations for oil and gas imports, amid industry lobbying and climate concerns. The EU Commission previously resisted changes but is now reconsidering. The situation reflects ongoing tensions between EU climate goals and US energy interests, particularly highlighted by a recent summit where EU energy officials engaged with US gas lobbyists. Documents reveal the Commission's attempts to navigate pressure from the US oil and gas sector, especially during the Trump administration, which opposed the methane rules.
