Hungary signed a framework agreement with the US on cooperation within the framework of the US initiative for Central and Eastern Europe "Trump's Peace Pipeline Framework" The purpose of the program is to promote strategic energy infrastructure projects and expand the region's ability to import US LNG. According to the State Department, the document documents Hungary's commitment to diversifying gas supply sources. The goal of Hungarian Foreign Minister Anita Orban is to create alternative sources of gas supply to Hungary. The Trump administration previously rejected the Southern Connection gas pipeline project, which would have connected Bosnia and Herzegovina to the gas grid and Croatia's LNG terminal on the island of Kraków. The company that won the pipeline contract has no experience building such infrastructure, but is associated with Trump's former personal lawyer. Opponents of the agreement claim that American LNG is significantly more expensive than Russian gas and that Orban has long advocated it as a gas industry lobbyist. Supporters of the initiative, on the contrary, see it as a way to reduce the vulnerability of the region. Energy today without VPN: max / site.
