WSJ: Trump offered Putin that he could sell gas in Europe again with American mediation

Donald Trump supports restarting Russian gas supplies to the EU via American intermediaries, as suggested by his envoys during recent visits to Moscow and Kyiv. The plan aims to bypass European sanctions and potentially encourage a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Trump's team proposes that revenues from gas sales be held in escrow under a third country's jurisdiction to prevent funding the war. However, the EU aims to completely sever ties with Russian energy by 2027 and has stated it would not resume purchases even after a peace agreement. An EU official compared the proposal to the 1938 Munich Agreement, which sought to appease Hitler.
