The Yooros can buy oil from The United States.

Our oil is too expensive for them as we use almost all of it, plus Mexico's and Canada's. They get theirs from the Middle East, North Africa and Nigeria for what they can't produce in the North Sea.

Then why are they still buying oil and gas from Russia?

Hmm, still no lefties on the thread!

I guess they're all getting their Putin portraits out of their closets and putting them back on the mantle.

Easier to transport to eastern Europe.

Not anymore.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Not anymore.

True. I don't know why Trump didn't do this day one, honestly.

 

[Delldude]

I thought Putin had Trump in his back pocket.

How does the president of the United States have the authority to stop oil sales to Europe?

The petrodollar. You'll be hearing that term in the incoming months as well.
The Trump team is playing hardball for real.

If (and this is very big IF) the United States will sell them oil. What is better for American industry - to sell some oil, or to destroy competitor's industry?
