European strikes are surging, and the United States will not be rescued

British workers who announced the suspension of strike due to the death of the queen are preparing for the previous plan to be put into practice. According to CNN, workers at the Port of Felixto, the largest container port in the UK, intended to conduct a second 8 -day strike to express their dissatisfaction with wages. In a statement, the British United Union stated that the port workers rejected 7%of the salary increase plan with a majority of 82%. The new strike plan lasted from September 27 to October 5th. Supply chain delay and interruption. "

This is a round of turmoil caused by soaring inflation. Not only in the UK, the strikes have risen in many European countries, especially as the winter approaching, the European energy crisis has intensified. The United States AXIOS News said that in order to get rid of Russia's energy, Europe is entering the most dangerous situation so far. Biden has promised that the United States will send more natural gas to the European Union to help Western allies get rid of their dependence on Russia's natural gas supply. Earlier this year, the United States and the European Union announced an agreement to increase supply this year and increased supply by 2030.

However, the reality is that the United States is not an ally. The British "Financial Times" reported on the 15th that when the price of oil is about to return to $ 100 per barrel, the US shale gas industry issued a warning saying that it was impossible to save Europe by increasing oil and gas output. US shale executives with a large amount of oil and natural gas reserves said they could not increase supply at a fast speed to prevent winter energy shortage. These petroleum and natural gas reserves can be used to alleviate the energy crisis of Europe.

"Our production is like this. It is impossible for the United States to increase production on a large scale." Said Van Luo, the head of the "quantum energy partner", one of the largest investors in the US shale field, said. The Financial Times reported that he bluntly could not help Europe. Dell, CEO of Kemililic Energy Management Corporation, US Private Equity Group, said that the shale oil business buyers on Wall Street will not support large increase in production, and they prefer low -yield and high -profits models. Shefeld, the chief executive officer of the vanguard of the largest oil producer in the United States, predicts that with the tight supply, crude oil prices may rise to more than $ 120 per barrel this winter.

The International Energy Agency warned on the 14th that when the EU's embargo was fully effective, oil exports from Russia, the world's largest oil exporter, may decrease by nearly 20%. AXIOS News said that all natural gas obtained from Europe last year from Russia was a larger order, and it was difficult to complete any country. The US Finance Minister Yellen said in an interview with the Columbia Broadcasting Corporation (CBS) broadcast on the evening of the 14th, "I do think that this winter will be difficult and challenged to Europe." She also acknowledged It has an overflow effect on the United States. ▲
