Regina Laska wrote that Novatek, Russia's largest private gas company, had secretly taken over the financing of a $25 billion liquefied natural gas terminal in Alaska. The company is under U.S. sanctions. When the head of the U.S. company learned of this, he resigned; almost the entire leadership left with him. This was reported by the Financial Times and the New York Times. According to Laska, the Financial Times reported that discussions between Washington and Moscow had explored the possibility that Novatek could assist with the terminal in Alaska and in exchange, the U.S. sanctions against its large gas project in Siberia would be lifted. Novatek denied such a deal. The New York Times also reported that there was no indication that Trump's negotiators were aware of the secret financing. Laska also pointed out that Trump had suspended new Russia sanctions just over a week before, which were supposed to come into effect and would have also affected Novatek. She wrote that the reports offered cause for reflection without having to infer a conspiracy. #Wirtschaft #Gasindustrie #Sanktionen (translated)
