Turkey plans to meet more than half of its gas needs by 2028 through domestic production and imports of liquefied natural gas from the United States. This shift could reduce Russia’s and Iran’s main markets in Europe.
The United States is urging Turkey to reduce its energy ties with Russia and Iran. In September, President Donald Trump met with Recep Tayyip Erdogan and suggested cutting purchases of Russian gas.
Currently, Russia is Turkey’s largest gas supplier, but its share is declining. Some pipeline contracts will expire soon. Therefore, Turkey is increasing gas imports from the U.S. and Algeria while boosting domestic production.
Experts say Turkey could sell its own gas and imported gas to Europe in the future. This will strengthen the country’s energy security.
