Stand in solidarity with Latin America and Greenland!

Following Trump’s strikes on Venezuela and his escalating threats to Greenland, we have joined 124 European and international civil society groups in sending a letter to leaders across Europe, urgeing them to cancel negotiating and implementing the US-EU trade deal, as well as reducing reliance on American fossil fuels.

The letter argues that every Euro spent on US fossil fuels, and every fossil fuel investment made by European companies and banks in the United States, fuels Trump’s authoritarian agenda at home and his imperial ambitions abroad.

Read the letter urging EU leaders to resist Trump’s fossil-fuelled imperialism in full here.

Stopping climate breakdown means keeping all fossil fuels in the ground – including gas. Governments and banks must stop financing gas pipelines and terminals which would lock us into a fossil-fuel future.
