The US warns the EU to pass the trade deal or risk losing favourable access to LNG, the FT reports citing the US ambassador to the EU

The US is applying pressure on the EU to finalize a trade deal by highlighting potential consequences for access to liquefied natural gas (LNG). This could escalate geopolitical tensions and influence energy prices, particularly for both regions, as LNG access is critical for managing energy security. Traders should consider the implications for energy markets and overall investment sentiment amid these developments.
