EU in talks with other gas suppliers amid concern over Russian delivery

Brussels

THE European Union is talking to the United States and other suppliers about boosting gas deliveries to Europe amid concern over supply from Russia.

"We are building a partnership for energy security with the United States, which is primarily about more LNG gas supplies," said EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at a conference organised by German media Der Tagesspiegel, Die Zeit, Handelsblatt and Wirtschaftswoche on Monday. "We are talking to other gas suppliers, for example Norway, about increasing their supplies to Europe."
