Sanctioned Russian oil giant's $20 billion asset sale raises questions

Original: CRUDE DEALINGS A sanctioned Russian oil giant. $20 billion in overseas assets for sale. Putin raised it with Trump's env

A sanctioned Russian oil company is seeking buyers for roughly $20 billion in overseas assets, a matter Putin raised with Trump's envoys at the Kremlin. Reports say investors circling the deal have ties to Trump's circle, and the US agency that could lift sanctions answers to Trump. No proof of a deal has been shown.

Why now: The overlap between the sanctioned asset sale, Trump-linked investors and US sanctions authority raises conflict-of-interest concerns.
