BRUSSELS (Reuters) – European Union countries are split over whether to cap gas prices, which they will discuss at a meeting of the bloc’s energy ministers on Friday, a senior EU diplomat said. “On the price caps at this moment there is nothing near like a consensus,” the diplomat said on Thursday. The diplomat added it was “difficult” to predict if consensus could be reached among countries on imposing a price cap on Russian gas alone. (Reporting by Bart Meijer)
