Positive
Trump's demand for the EU to purchase U.S. energy could boost the performance of U.S. oil and gas companies, especially given the ongoing energy market dynamics. If the EU responds positively, it may indicate a shift in energy sourcing that favors U.S. exports, which could enhance revenue for related companies.
