@phil_stevens Um, the Trumpist objective (or M.O.) is to control the energy markets, raising prices for their oil exporting friends (incl. Putin) and making life difficult for liberal democracies that import energy (incl. the EU).
The US regime's announcements are just to placate the media and get people wondering there might be some actual good in all of this mayhem.
