Trump Envoy’s Secret Russia Talks on Nord Stream Gas Pipeline Spark Outrage
Richard Grenell’s multiple trips to Switzerland involved discussions regarding restarting Russian gas exports to Germany through Nord Stream 2, potentially with US companies acting as intermediaries. Proposals included US control over gas flow and repurposing Nord Stream 1 for green hydrogen transport. German authorities deny knowledge of these meetings, contradicting Bild’s reporting which cites unnamed government sources. The Financial Times linked these negotiations to Matthias Warnig, a former Nord Stream 2 executive with past ties to Putin.
