US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum highlighted the landmark LNG agreement between the United States and Greece, signed during the 6th Transatlantic Energy Cooperation Summit in Athens on Friday.
“Making deals & strengthening transatlantic ties in Greece. Between the expansion of gas supply routes along the Vertical Corridor from south to north and Venture Global’s new long-term LNG sales, under POTUS, we are boosting Europe’s energy independence like never before,” wrote Burgum in an X post.

Greece’s DEPA and construction group Aktor signed a 20-year contract through their joint company, Atlantic-See LNG Trade, with US energy firm Venture Global for the supply of up to 4 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas (LNG) annually, valued at €25 billion at current prices. The agreement takes effect January 1, 2030.
The deal, one of the largest long-term LNG contracts in Eastern Europe, will channel gas primarily to Ukraine and other Eastern European countries.
