Donald Trump, former US president, railed at the EU snub directed at President Joe Biden, whose proposal was stonewalled by the Bloc due to Russia's grip on their energy sector.
The European Union just ignored the much-ballyhooed solution by the White House as the energy boycott is another snag in the Bloc and US.
It was Biden who shut down the Keystone XL pipeline and allowed the Nord Stream 2 to get unsanctioned.
Trump Blames Biden of EU Snub
Trump had a field day hitting Biden for his spectacular miscalculation whether the bloc leaders would go along with an oil and gas embargo, reported the Express UK.
Trump, whose term ended in 2021, took his usual swipe at the gaffe Democrat who thought the final embargo would be done with European allies would flat.
He crowed it would stop Russian President Vladimir Putin's relentless surge in Ukraine, nobody cared, resulting in a mega-snub yesterday, citing Reuters.
Despite pasts squabbles over free trade deals, the White House got Downing Street to go with Washington. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit speculate that Moscow will lose more than £5billion this year or more.
But leaders of the Bloc told the White House to take a literal hike as it would be calamitous for them to shut off power supplies altogether.
They proposed those old imports be continued, but gas supplies are shut off in the meantime.
If the White House bothered to study the problem as Trump would, they would know the Bloc's dependence on Russian gas or oil would end in an EU snub.
US Boycott on Russian Oil , Gas
Many bloc members are heavily in need of natural gas, which is about 40 percent; Russia pumps natural gas through the Yamal and Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
German ministers are not convinced how booting Russia from Swift was counterproductive. Berlin is not keen on imperiling its gas supplies due to the Bloc or the US, noted the DW.
Annalena Baerbock, Berlin's foreign minister, remarked that putting sanctions on Moscow and paying for it dearly; how having the barest supplies will force us to ask for power in the end.
Mr. Trump gave his two cents about it through his save America PAC.
He announces that Brussels will not go along with Joe in banning oil and gas; the US or another country will suffer the consequences.
It's the US all alone and left solitary out there; the European Union does not care. They are defended, and the Fake News says they have Biden's back, but he's charging with an empty clip against Moscow.
The former president earlier shellacked the Democrats about the risen gas prices for the Nth time.
He poked cruelly at the current administration and slammed the highest paid per gallon by the American consumer. Adding would they want him over the one in the White House?
In a time of such hardship for the middle class that has to pay $4.17 on Tuesday; and it beat hands down 2008. President Biden is bleeding from his wrong policies, while the ex-Businessman bides his time leisurely.
But he's forging ahead despite the letdown; some would say it is out of touch.
Donald Trump got many shots at Joe Biden, who got the EU snub, and maybe not, considering he's sinking faster than quicksand.
