"Nord Stream 2" or a Chip for Russia-Ukraine Talks? American Tycoon Considering Buying European Energy Artery

Golden Ten Data Nov 22 news, an American investor with trading history in Russia requested that if the damaged Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline is auctioned in a bankruptcy proceeding in Switzerland, the US government should allow him to bid. Miami financier Stephen Lynch wants to buy the natural gas pipeline from Russia to Germany and has told US officials and lawmakers that US ownership of the pipeline would become a bargaining chip in ending the Ukraine war with Russia, and also align with long-term US interests. Lynch said, "Most importantly, this is a rare opportunity for the US and Europe to control European energy supply in the remaining time of the fossil fuel era." Business people and former government officials in Russia with experience said Lynch's plan faced major obstacles, but if it could be used as a bargaining chip for negotiating peace in Ukraine after Trump took office, Lynch's plan might gain momentum. Trump promised to end the war quickly.
