Top U.S. and Russian officials, including Jared Kushner and Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev, have discussed bringing U.S. investors into the Nord Stream pipelines to potentially resume Russian gas exports to Germany after the Ukraine war.

The proposal could allow U.S. investors to profit from Russian gas sales to Europe, but faces major obstacles.

A White House official denied recent discussions, while another U.S. official said a deal was unlikely in the medium term.

Kushner and Dmitriev also discussed selling Lukoil’s international assets to U.S., Qatari and UAE investors.
