Russia's Novatek working with lobbyists to thaw US relations
14/12/2024 6:29
Russia's largest liquefied natural gas producer Novatek is working with lobbyists in an attempt to rebuild U.S. relations after Washington imposed sanctions on its mammoth Arctic LNG 2 project, two sources familiar with the matter said.
Russia's relationship with the United States hit a post-Cold War low after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, with President Joe Biden's administration imposing sanctions on hundreds of entities and individuals for backing the war effort.
These include Novatek's Arctic LNG 2, which was set to become Russia's largest LNG plant.
The return of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to the White House on Jan. 20 is being viewed with cautious optimism by some in Russia, although others think it will change little.
