WorldU.S. proposes Russian gas sales to Europe through American intermediary, but European officials reject plan, WSJ reports

The U.S. proposed that Russia sell natural gas to Europe through an American intermediary, with proceeds held in escrow in a third country, according to the Wall Street Journal. U.S. negotiators say the plan could encourage an energy truce in Ukraine and lower European prices, but European officials privately reject resuming Russian gas purchases. EU countries have agreed to phase out Russian LNG by January 1, 2027.
