Countries are making large-scale promises to buy American fossil fuels, often in amounts that far exceed current demand or supply capabilities. These deals, encouraged by President Trump, mark a shift from traditional trade agreements by relying on political commitments rather than enforceable contracts. The European Union, Japan, and South Korea have all pledged to purchase significant quantities of United States energy, but questions remain about how these commitments will be fulfilled given market realities and legal limitations. Critics warn that such agreements could undermine climate goals, disrupt global energy markets, and raise domestic prices, while also relying on ambiguous accounting and political maneuvering to meet targets.
