• The war in Ukraine has intensified the focus on energy security in Europe, driving EU countries to seek new energy partnerships, notably with the United States.

• Comparing Europe with countries like China and India in terms of mineral resources is complex, as government involvement in the sector varies.

• While an electrical grid connection could help alleviate electricity shortages in various MENA countries, it remains out of reach due to several factors, with political discord being the most significant obstacle.
