The 750 billion figure covers oil, gas, nuclear fuel AND semi-conductors, not just gas as claimed.
The 600 billion refers to non-energy investments in the US, not weapons purchases - the trade agreement does not oblige the EU to purchase weapons.
The characterization of the gas as 'overpriced' is subjective/political interpretation.
The deal was agreed in July 2025, announced by both von der Leyen and Trump.
The timeframe for these commitments is until 2028 (three-year period).
