    It does seem that way. Unfortunately, the info is yet quite meager. The official EU press release was a bit of a propaganda piece imo. See also this X post

    Other outlets are slowly realeasing some info, and one paper states that it’s more of a " principle deal" and that many details need to be worked out. There is a list of zero tariff goods as well.

    And, FYI, we were already importing US LNG, and US defense materials. I don’t know about the amounts and specifics of existing contracts though.

    Also, we ( EU) will be importing Canadian LNG and other stuff from Canada, in the coming years.
