Lithuania imported its first ever cargo of US LNG on August 21, the event celebrated by way of a special welcoming ceremony attended by key Lithuanian government figures.
The US State Department was also on hand to mark the occasion, tweeting that it wanted to “congratulate the government of Lithuania on receiving its first shipment of US LNG.”
But does this single cargo of LNG from a privately owned US supplier to a very small European gas market actually matter? Is its geopolitical value being vastly overexaggerated?
