That’s fine. Let the free market work and get the stupid feds out of our way of finding and developing our massive petroleum and energy resources. But I hate meddling with another country’s sovereign right to do what they want as long as it is not a direct threat to the U.S. or our allies.
He, Trump, is not ‘meddling’. It’s the Baltic states, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, who are asking Trump to stop the EU from making a deal to run more Russia pipes through their territory.
The Baltic states joined the EU long ago hoping to distance themselves from Russian influence. They feel the EU and Russia are cutting a deal and giving them no voice to object. If the US transports oil and gas to the Baltics, the Russian deal loses leverage.
That’s my take.
