美欧贸易协定达成以来 欧盟自美油气进口金额同比下降

Core Viewpoint - Despite the EU's commitment to purchase $750 billion worth of U.S. energy over the next three years, spending on U.S. oil and gas imports has decreased by 7% year-on-year over the past four months [1] Group 1: Import Trends - The EU has increased its imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the U.S. since the trade agreement with Washington in August, but the overall import value has declined due to falling oil and gas prices [1] - From September to December, the total amount spent by the EU on U.S. LNG and oil was estimated at $29.6 billion [1] Group 2: Trade Agreement Insights - The non-binding trade agreement has not significantly driven additional purchases of U.S. commodities by the EU, as stated by Kpler's senior director Gillian Boccara [1] - Commodity procurement is primarily determined by economic factors such as transportation costs and profit margins, rather than political commitments, leading to the characterization of the procurement promise as "unrealistic" [1]
