Trump-Linked Investor Pushes Russia Arctic LNG Deal in Alaska
A Texas investor with ties to Donald Trump is pursuing a first-known U.S. deal with Russia’s Novatek to develop Arctic LNG in Alaska, signaling a possible return of Russia to Western business despite sanctions. Beach says the plan is strictly business and not tied to peace talks; Novatek notes discussions but no confirmed participation. The effort is early and faces hurdles, while Trump has described Russia’s economic potential as a “tremendous opportunity” and most U.S. firms remain wary of returning to Russia.
