Cracks emerge in the US-Europe energy relationship

Biden administration officials are holding several meetings over next several days with European energy officials to discuss two major topics: how to keep energy flowing to Europe and how to ease growing tensions about the United States\u2019 role as the continent\u2019s leading gas supplier. While Europe has turned to the U.S. to help with its energy needs after Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, the continent is wary of relying on U.S. supplies. POLITICO\u2019s Ben Lefebvre discusses why these meetings are being held and what both the United States and Europe hope to accomplish. Plus, the International Energy Agency\u2019s new landmark report says Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine marks a \u2018turning point\u2019 for global fossil fuel demand and could accelerate the world\u2019s green transition.
