What happened

Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Euronews in Athens that U.S. support for European energy security is quite sustainable, citing immense American resources and a strong desire to grow the economic and national-security partnership, according to Wright.

Asked whether the U.S. is a long-term partner or a crisis supplier, Wright said the United States views itself very much as a long-term supplier, noting that U.S. natural gas production is more than twice Russia’s and growing rapidly, with export capacity expanding even faster, according to the interview. He said President Trump’s agenda is prosperity at home and peace abroad, and that cross-border energy cooperation creates long-term relationships that drive peace, according to Wright.

Wright called Greece a tremendous partner and a historic shipping powerhouse, and said Greece’s role has flipped: once the end of the line in a Russian-dominated supply system, it is now the gateway for American energy flowing into Europe, with huge economic benefits for Greece, according to the interview. On climate, Wright said he will not attend this year’s UN climate talks in Brazil but may go next year, and that climate change is a real, slow-moving phenomenon that has been wildly exaggerated for political purposes, according to his remarks.

Why it matters

The Athens interview is the secretary’s transatlantic pitch in one sitting: American gas as Europe’s long-term supply, Greece as its entry point, and his stated climate position for a European audience.
