Increased LNG imports, particularly a 39% rise from the US in the first two months of 2025, have mitigated price increases. However, this has not prevented a 70.3% average price increase in the first quarter compared to last year. Current futures contracts suggest prices will remain elevated.

This perspective, prevalent in the 1990s, contributed to a widespread disregard for the military and a pacifist stance, hindering Spain's preparedness for current geopolitical challenges. Aznar's decision to abolish military service reinforced this attitude, which persists today, impacting Spain's response to the need for rearming demanded by the EU.

How does this proposal connect to Germany's energy policy shifts and its relationship with Russia?

This proposal links to broader geopolitical shifts and Germany's energy dependence. The potential US purchase and subsequent gas flow from Russia would represent a significant reversal of Germany's recent energy policy aimed at independence from Russian gas. This shift is particularly controversial given Russia's role in the war in Ukraine and concerns about its reliability as an energy supplier.

How does the Trump administration's policy toward Greenland balance the desire for strategic access with respect for Greenlandic self-determination?

The Trump administration's focus on Greenland stems from its Arctic location and strategic value, particularly given increasing Russian and Chinese interest in the region. Vance's criticisms of Denmark's stewardship of the base highlight concerns about security infrastructure, while his emphasis on self-determination for Greenland suggests a more diplomatic approach than previously suggested. The underlying tension is between the US desire for greater influence in the Arctic and Greenland's own desire for self-determination.
