Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten criticized Donald Trump over a deal with Russia, stating that buying Russian energy is an extremely unwise decision and European leaders should not purchase Russian gas.

However, statistics for the first nine months of 2026 show the opposite: the Netherlands imported 1.25 million tons of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) valued at approximately €650–800 million. Thus, while political rhetoric rejects Russian energy, Russian LNG supplies to the Netherlands continue.
