Last year, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent set a target to cut the U.S. federal budget deficit to just 3% of GDP by the end of President Donald Trump’s second term. The deficit reduction was a key component of his "3-3-3" economic plan, with the other two being achieving 3% real GDP growth and increasing energy production by 3 million barrels a day by 2028. The plan relies on spending constraints, regulatory reforms, and tariff revenue to narrow the deficit.  With Trump now completing the first year of his second term, energy and…

Europe’s gas demand could rise even higher at the end of this winter, making it even more challenging to refill storage that has been depleting at the fastest pace in years.         So far into 2026, snowfall and snow coverage in the Alps, which feed a large part of the hydropower generation in Austria and northern Italy, have been well below average, Reuters columnist Gavin Maguire notes.  With potentially lower hydropower generation, if snowfall continues to be scarce, gas consumption in the…

Europe is still suffering from the consequences of its decadeslong dependence on Russian energy imports. But as the bloc continues to wean itself off of Russian oil and gas, Europe is facing new and compounding energy dependence threats from the United States and China. European policymakers are in a tough spot, literally and figuratively sandwiched between a massive and high-stakes battle for global energy supremacy.  When Russia illegally invaded Ukraine in February of 2022, Europe as a whole depended on the Russian producers for 40 percent…

Artificial intelligence is often viewed as a catalyst for electrification and subsequently decarbonization. Yet one of its most immediate effects may be the opposite of what many assume. The rapid buildout of AI infrastructure is increasing demand for reliable power, and that reality could strengthen the role of natural gas and other dispatchable energy sources for many years. Investors focused on semiconductors and software valuations may be overlooking a key constraint. AI runs on electricity, and those electricity systems operate within physical…

Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Armenia and Azerbaijan succeeded in widening the scope of US economic engagement with the two South Caucasus nations. In the months immediately after Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a provisional peace deal in Washington last August, the Trump administration’s focus was on the development of the Middle Corridor trade and logistics network. But now other sectors, including civilian nuclear energy, arms sales and artificial intelligence, are part of the discussion. Vance’s stop in Baku on February…

Oil prices dropped Thursday after the International Energy Agency cut its demand growth outlook, a revision that landed in a market already uneasy about how quickly supply is said to be rising. Brent crude traded near $67 a barrel in the afternoon, down roughly 3% on the session. U.S. WTI slipped into the $62s. Selling accelerated after the IEA trimmed its 2026 global demand growth forecast to 850,000 barrels per day. A month ago, it was expecting 930,000. The number itself is not as dramatic as the context. The agency still sees global supply…

Cubans are struggling with blackouts and fuel rationing amid President Trump’s campaign to provoke regime change by choking off the energy supply of the island nation, which is heavily dependent on fuel imports. Trump last month threatened to impose tariffs on any country that sends oil to Cuba, labelling the island “an unusual and extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security. He noted the Cuban government’s relations with Russia, China, and Iran as evidence of that threat, which, Trump suggested, would present as “migration…
