No worries! Trump will call Den Von Deleten, whatever her name is -- and she will just do what she is told whatever is the thing she is told to do. Exactly like it already happened with EU buying $700B of natural gas. We paid just a bit over $100B to Russians for the same thing... but you know... Trump told, so here we go!

Any source for this comparison? Also did the EU buy it or said they will?

We said we would aspire to buying US gas. EU can't order member states around like that, and the member states themselves can't order private businesses who to buy from; US can't actually ship much more, even if it could it can't do so to us; and that's about 100% of our imports anyway (not just replacing Russian, replacing all of it) and the way global markets and fungible goods work is that it makes no difference who we buy it from or who sells it to us anyway.
