a million dollar cost memorial in jerusalem on holocaust remembrance day. welcome to the w business i'm sure they'll be my law and thanks for joining us we start off with us alan g. going to that you know that may sound like an alphabet soup but i mean so much more up close to three hundred percent increase of liquefied natural gas imports from the us through the e.u. is one thing helping to manage tensions between the two trading partners but for how long. it all started with a promise in the rose garden last july when e.u. commission presidential gload younker tried to sue the us president ready to start another trade war we've decided to strengthen our cooperation on energy and you will be more terminals to import liquefied natural gas from the us currently germany is financing two new elegy terminals to receive fewer shipments and is said
