U.S.-Russia Talks on Ukraine Now Involve an Oil Deal Tied to Trump Allies
Surprised?
The Trump administration’s talks with Russia about ending the war in Ukraine have expanded to include a multibillion-dollar oil deal that would benefit Middle Eastern business executives with ties to the two main U.S. negotiators, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
The deal, which is contingent on approval from the U.S. government and the Kremlin, is for a sprawling set of oil fields, refineries and gas stations around the world owned by Lukoil, one of Russia’s biggest energy companies.
The leading group seeking the deal includes an American investor, Todd Boehly, who has donated $2 million to President Trump’s political causes; two Middle Eastern groups that have done business with Mr. Kushner or Mr. Witkoff’s family; and an arm of the U.S. government itself.
First thing today, Trump tries a $90 bribe to win back American seniors during the failing midterms, with 5k soon to follow if and when Republicans win.
Trump Promises $90 'Checks' to 20M Seniors From What He Called 'Dumocrats' 'Pointless Slush Fund'
Right.
Smacks of serious desperation. Okay. But wait. Now Putin tries his own bribe, directed square at Trumpworld's wheelhouse, their wallet.
Who stands to win on the Russian deal?
Witkoff and Kushner, the son in law. And this guy with the shiny white caps who owns Lukoil, Todd Boehly:
Another reason to hate the Dodgers.
