[Report: EU Plans Faster Phase-Out of Russian LNG] The European Union is reportedly developing measures to accelerate its phase-out of Russian natural gas, just days after Trump called on the bloc to take more action on energy. The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, is considering including a clause in its new sanctions package that would ban all natural gas imports from Russia, regardless of whether they are transported by pipeline or in the form of liquefied natural gas. The European Commission, which is currently preparing a phased halt to pipeline natural gas imports by October 2025, is now planning to introduce a bill to accelerate the ban on Russian LNG.
