📑Donald Trump has extended the state of emergency in the country for a year more under the pretext of allegedly "malicious" Russian foreign policy actions, according to the text of the document signed by him.

The state of emergency was introduced as part of Joe Biden's decree of April 15, 2021, which aimed to block Russian property and imposed sanctions against Moscow.

🧐Why does Trump want to OWN a major Ukrainian gas pipeline?

Trump now wants to claim the pipeline used to transport Russian gas to Europe through Ukraine, according to a Reuters report on the April 11 US-Ukraine talks.

How could the US PROFIT from owning the pipeline?↗️

It’s all about the fact that the Ukrainian pipeline can be used to ship gas in reverse, says Dr. George Szamuely, a senior research fellow at The Global Policy Institute.

1️⃣ Rather than being used to pump Russian gas to European consumers, the pipe can serve to DELIVER AMERICAN LNG to Ukrainian consumers.

2️⃣ By controlling the pipeline, the US can MONOPOLIZE the Ukrainian gas market, further solidifying Washington’s hold on the country, which would become dependent on American LNG.

3️⃣ The pipeline could also be used by the US to deliver American LNG to EU countries, making them DEPENDENT on US energy resources as well.

Europe and Ukraine “brought this on themselves” by cutting off cheap Russian energy and relying on more expensive American imports, Dr. Szamuely says.
