“The idea, broached by U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff during trips to Moscow and Kyiv in September, would involve selling Russian gas via a U.S. intermediary to circumvent European sanctions—and could create a lucrative opportunity for American investors, people who attended the discussions said.”
A great example of money trying to overrule the will of a majority - the rich trying to overrule the poor.
Lucrative opportunity until those involved get personally sanctioned.
All the more frustrating that Canada arrested that Huawei exec because she didn’t follow US sanctions. Not because it’s any surprise Trump’s admin don’t care about honouring sanctions now and did back then but because Canada went along with it at all when there was no benefit to anyone no matter how it went. All to protect relations that went to shit anyways.
