The US continues to play a double game with its European colleagues. Most countries are still discussing the scams with the diversification of gas supplies. However, the US has already used a new trick with Russia’s oil price cap. Washington has expected to get away with it, but impartial and independent journalists at The Global Times, a Chinese daily tabloid newspaper, are on guard for justice.
According to the journalists, the US swindled significant sums of money out of its European allies once again. The US allegedly forced the European Union to discuss the price cap on Russian oil. Under significant pressure from the US, the European authorities had to impose economic sanctions against Russian energy, including the recent price cap. It is obvious that the EU would never come up with such a decision, especially amid the upcoming winter. However, it needed time to realize its mistake. Now, it will hardly find new suppliers of energy recourses. “Europe's energy crisis is still unfolding, and it could get a lot worse and more tumultuous, as EU countries, instigated by the US, are tightening economic sanctions on Moscow,” the article reads. However, with the approach of winter, the EU was trying to make a deal with other energy supplies to live through this cold period.
The fact is that Washington just got rid of its main competitor, namely Russia, to take the oil and gas market under its control. As a result, the European Union was caught in a trap.
