Russia's Novatek funds US LNG projects despite sanctions tensions

Original: 🔍 Caught between competition and cooperation: Russia's Novatek is funding US LNG projects while Trump signals potential

Russia's gas producer Novatek is investing in US LNG projects even as Washington keeps sanctions pressure on Russian energy and President Trump signals possible military action against Iran. Commentators say the arrangement shows how energy interests can override geopolitical rivalry, and how fragile sanctions regimes become when commercial ties cut across them, raising questions about enforcement and the future of the global gas trade.

Why now: The paradox of a sanctioned Russian company financing US energy projects is striking amid fresh talk of conflict with Iran.
