Richard Grenell Suggests to Trump Scrapping $5 Billion US Loan for France’s TotalEnergies African LNG Project, After Macron Call...
Richard Grenell's bold proposal to cancel a $5 billion U.S. loan for France's TotalEnergies project reflects escalating tensions between the U.S. and Europe, igniting a crucial debate on international investment strategies.
Why invest in France or any other country who kicks us in the teeth?
they should have let Germany have France in WW2
Go Grenell! 👍❤️🇺🇸
The Left is eating its own tail.
Wonder how far they have gotten up the tail by now???? Inquiring Minds want to know!!!!!
They can get power by having those freeloading immigrants pedal bikes to make power for their homes.
Thanks for the image you just put in my neurodivergent brain. Got a good laugh!

I wonder what all of the soldiers that gave their lives at Normandy would think about where France is at now?

TotalEnergies is a major French petroleum and chemical company. It has operations in Africa, notably in South Africa and Uganda. Among other things, they offer solar power systems to poor communities. Why are we investing in French business? Here are some references:

Is a loan really an investment? Honestly it's even worth. Why do they need our money as a loan?
I must admit, I hadn't even considered that question. You are correct to pose the question, and it probably doesn't really qualify as an "investment." Except only as we may make a profit on the repayment of the loan. But given U.S. monetary habits, one can rightly suspect that the French turned to the U.S. because we loan out money like it does not belong to the taxpayers and are not going to receive much profit by the payback.
I am so used to thinking of "investment" as it applies to Africa: a euphemistic code-word for shady deals where foreign money is used to gain access to and exploitation of valuable assets, at the price of kickbacks to the local bigwigs. Cheap at twice the price.
Boomerang!
Yes, I love it. Just keep kicking the bear and see what you get.
Europe is nothing without the US
