What are the long-term implications of the EU's rejection of US trade demands on future EU energy policy and the US-EU energy relationship?

The EU's move signals a shift away from fulfilling US demands under pressure. The rejection of Trump's $350 billion request, exceeding current US daily production, indicates a prioritization of economic self-interest over fulfilling US trade demands. Future EU energy policy will likely emphasize diversification away from both US and Russian sources.
