Trump’s tariff threats triggered record EU export push to U.S.
In a clear sign of how businesses have scrambled to stay ahead of rapidly shifting U.S. trade policies, the European Union’s exports to the United States soared to record levels in March—just weeks before President Donald Trump launched his sweeping global tariff campaign.
According to Eurostat data released Friday, the EU exported €71.4 billion ($80 billion) worth of goods to the U.S. that month, a 59% surge from the same period last year. The resulting trade surplus hit an unprecedented €40.7 billion, the highest ever recorded in transatlantic trade.

America’s LNG boom surges ahead with 90 MTPA of new capacity on deck
The U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector is entering a bold new phase of growth, with more than 90 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of new export capacity expected to receive final investment decisions (FIDs) in 2025 — even amid heightened uncertainty surrounding President Donald Trump’s trade war and its impact on construction costs.
The U.S., already the world’s largest LNG exporter with 91.3 MTPA of capacity, is on track to triple its output before 2030. An additional 95.7 MTPA of capacity is already under construction. This pipeline of growth reflects confidence in long-term demand for U.S. gas globally, even as tariffs on steel, aluminum and other inputs threaten to drive up construction costs for new plants.

Kazakhstan defies OPEC+ as crude exports surge to near-record levels
Kazakhstan is poised to push its seaborne crude exports to near-record levels next month, adding fresh strain to its already tense relationship with the OPEC+ alliance, which is grappling with excess supply and internal discipline issues. The country’s CPC Blend shipments via the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk are expected to rise to between 1.65 and 1.70 million barrels per day (bpd) in June.
If realized, that would match the all-time high set in February, reinforcing Kazakhstan’s position as a growing wildcard within the oil producers’ cartel. Kazakhstan’s production and exports have exceeded its OPEC+ quota for months, driven by the ramp-up at the Tengiz oil field, one of the largest and most technologically advanced oil projects in the world, operated by Chevron.
