Strait of Hormuz blockade shifts CEE LNG supply to US dominance (visegradinsight.eu)

• US LNG gains near-total dominance in CEE after Hormuz blockade
• Poland and Croatia already depend on US LNG for majority of imports
• Fertilizer trade disruption via Hormuz amplifies global food inflation

"Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is reshaping energy and commodity markets in Central and Eastern Europe. The resulting LNG shortage cements US dominance in the region, where LNG covers roughly 40% of domestic needs. Poland and Croatia already rely heavily on US LNG. Additionally, the disruption of ~1/3 of global fertilizer trade through the strait intensifies inflationary pressures worldwide."
