US Vice-President Joseph R. Biden Jr. applauded the three Baltic nations’ recent energy diversification progress and pledged continued US support for Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. “Not long ago, this region was known as the ‘energy island,’ cut off from the rest of Europe. And the Baltic States know as well as any nation the national security consequences of being energy dependent,” he said during an Aug. 24 address at the National Library of Latvia in Riga.
