On the heels of President Trump’s tour through the Middle East, we’re seeing a HUGE shift in the global energy landscape. You won't want to miss the discussion from the Energy Realities team from Bulgaria, the UK, and Texas as we cover the trip that was a celebration and not a fist bump.

Stuart Turley, Irina Slav, Tammy Nemeth, and David Blackmon dig into the implications of a possible U.S.-OPEC+ relationship, energy diplomacy, the Syria pipeline question, turbine shortages, and why Canada and the UK might be getting energy policy all wrong.
