On June 5 at 11:00 Moscow Time (GMT+3), the Valdai Club will host a discussion on the energy policy of Donald Trump’s administration.
The American president’s provocative statements have already become commonplace in news headlines. Most of Donald Trump’s proposals and initiatives concern the foreign economic dimension of American policy. The world community’s attention was drawn to statements about Greenland, the acquisition of which would allow the United States to significantly expand its Arctic zone and get a major hub for future Arctic operations, the introduction of unprecedented foreign trade tariffs, as well as the deal on rare earth metals with Ukraine.
The Republican administration intends to carry out no less cardinal reforms inside the United States. This concerns Donald Trump’s new course in the energy sector of the American economy. His agenda includes the introduction of a state of emergency in the energy sphere (on the new administration’s first day), the establishment of a national council on energy dominance, the stimulation of oil and gas production, the return of coal as one of the main resources for American energy and much more.
How feasible are the Donald Trump administration’s plans? What could prevent them from being realized? How can they affect Russia’s interests and role in the global energy sector? The participants in our discussion will try to answer these and other questions.
