The Trump administration’s new trade deal with the European Union includes a striking energy commitment: the EU has pledged to buy $750 billion worth of American energy. POLITICO’s Ben Lefebvre breaks down what led to this pledge, why it might be impossible to meet, and how it reveals growing tension between Trump’s energy ambitions and his foreign policy goals. Plus, President Trump’s pick to lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration just cleared a key Senate panel on Wednesday, putting him on track for confirmation.
