Donald Trump would restart Russian gas supplies to Western Europe, of course he wants to benefit from it.

Donald Trump proposes to restart Russian gas supplies to Western Europe, despite ongoing tensions. The U.S. aims to mediate between Russia and Ukraine for energy cooperation, but faces resistance from European leaders. Current EU regulations mandate a gradual halt to Russian gas purchases by 2027, as leaders view Russia as a strategic threat. The U.S. believes in the proposal, which includes American intermediaries facilitating transactions. However, recent escalations in conflict have complicated negotiations. A U.S. official suggested that Russian gas revenues be held in escrow to prevent funding the war. Currently, only 11% of Europe's gas comes from Russia, down from 45% before the war, with U.S. LNG now comprising 30% of consumption.
