If the Europeans weren’t buying oil and gas from the us our oil and gas industry would suffer immensely. Exporting oil and gas is a big part of our economy.

Yeah, that's why Europe will not be allowed to shift economic partnerships. It's also why they're trying to sanction Iran again, and even part of why they're being made to sanction China (and thus Chinese solar). Europe must be kept dependent on US oil and gas, or at least on oil and gas from US allies. They can't be allowed to escape.
