The United States is increasing gas supplies to Europe and considers reducing European dependence on Russian energy a matter of priority, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Sunday.
“He [U.S. President Joe Biden] is now working on a daily basis with his European colleagues on steps Europe can take to wean itself off of Russian oil and gas. In fact, the United States is surging gas exports to Europe in order for them to reduce their dependence on Russia. And he’s talking to them about what they can do to get off Russian oil as well,” Sullivan said in an interview with ABC News.
He noted that the U.S. is not going to rush until the decision is made, but it is “a matter of priority for the United States to continue to work with European partners on this issue.”
