US and Russia Discuss Nord Stream Gas Sales to Europe

dw.com (Russian) —

US and Russian officials have discussed resuming Russian gas supplies to Europe via the Nord Stream pipelines, potentially involving an American investor, according to Reuters. The talks reportedly occurred in recent weeks between Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and Putin's envoy Kirill Dmitriev. The White House denies recent discussions, while Germany says it is not interested in restarting the pipelines. Both pipelines remain under US and EU sanctions, and Germany has found alternative gas sources. German lawmakers warn such a deal would strengthen Moscow's position in its war against Ukraine.
