Reference News, March 14 report - According to AFP, on March 14, as the Middle East conflict weakens oil and gas supplies in the Asia-Pacific region, U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said that the United States can provide "reliable" energy supplies to the Asia-Pacific region.

Since the attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran led to the death of the country's supreme leader and plunged the Middle East into war, oil and gas prices have surged.

The report said that Haaland, speaking at an event attended by 17 countries in the region in Tokyo, stated that President Trump's "energy dominance" policy aims to ensure "we have the energy to achieve domestic prosperity, and the ability to sell energy to our friends and allies."

She said this would ensure the region has "reliable, affordable and secure" energy supplies, "untroubled by regimes that pursue terrorism." (Translated by Feng Xue)
