‼️ Russia reportedly offered the US the “greatest deal,” which could supposedly earn Putin and Trump Nobel Prizes, — The Economist…
What’s known:
📍 A Russian Security Council document states that implementing the deal could bring Nobel Prizes to the presidents of Russia and the US.
📍 According to Volodymyr Zelensky, citing Ukrainian intelligence, Moscow allegedly proposed $12 trillion in economic agreements to Washington in exchange for sanctions relief.
📍 The US was offered participation in Arctic oil and gas extraction, rare earth metals development, nuclear powered data centers, and the construction of a tunnel under the Bering Strait. Putin also suggested returning Exxon Mobil assets worth $5 billion.
📍 According to The Economist, Trump’s representatives are most interested in megaprojects that could reshape global commodity markets.
📍 The Kremlin emphasizes “Arctic resource components,” allegedly attracting dozens of international investment funds.
📍 Experts and former US officials, however, consider the Kremlin’s estimates highly exaggerated, and the promised trillions unrealistic.
📍 Even in the most optimistic scenario, potential financial flows are estimated at roughly $340 billion per year far below the claimed $12 trillion.
📍 The Economist views the idea that US companies could extract trillions of dollars’ worth of resources in the Russian Arctic as fantastical.
📍 The publication warns that economic rapprochement could help the Russian economy recover and create conditions for a new war.
📍 The Economist’s conclusion: the US president should carefully review the Kremlin’s proposal and reject it.
