  • Nestlé is assessing its options after Russia placed the Swiss food giant’s local assets under temporary external administration.
  • The move could pave the way for Kremlin-friendly investors to take control of Nestlé’s Russian business, alongside assets linked to Auchan and Leroy Merlin.

Trump Wants Putin to End the War. He May Offer Russia Business Deals First.​

A new sanctions bill is meant to pressure President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia to end the war in Ukraine. But President Trump is doubling down on a different approach: offering enticements to Russia.

When President Trump’s envoys sat down with Vladimir V. Putin at the Kremlin this month, the Russian leader exuded confidence.
Within months, he said, Russian troops would finally capture Ukraine’s entire Donbas region. And Russia was poised to pummel Ukraine’s electricity grid, setting the stage for a miserable winter.

Then one of the envoys, Jared Kushner, tried to push back. With all due respect, you told us exactly that a year ago, Mr. Kushner said to the Russian president. What are the chances we come back here in another year and you are again saying the same thing? Maybe we don’t lose a year?

Something to consider...



How do you FORCE the EU and NATO to stop funding Zelensky and the war in Ukraine?

How do you FORCE the grifter Zelensky to come to the peace table?

Make the EU and NATO choose between funding the Ukraine war, or once again, purchasing oil from Russia.

Step way back.

Look at the bigger picture.

The EU and NATO, have been doing everything they can to extend the Ukraine war and push the fear that Russia is a real threat.

Trump pointed out their “hypocrisy” from the beginning.

Do you remember?

Trump pointed out that these EU and NATO countries constantly demonize Russia as a mortal enemy, while at the same time buying oil from them for the EU economy.
The EU was completely dependent on Russian oil and Trump pointed out their “hypocrisy.”

Then what did Trump do?

He put the financial squeeze on them by FORCING them to increase their own defense spending, instead of the U.S. subsidizing the entire EU national defense.
They capitulated.
More money on defense, less for energy.
Then Ukraine blew up the Russian pipeline that supplied Europe. Didn’t matter. The EU kept supporting Zelensky and demonizing Russia.

The EU shifted and began getting a lot of their oil from the Middle East after their hypocrisy was exposed.
But look what just happened, as “winter” approaches.

“Saudi Arabia has informed at least two oil refining customers in Europe that they will not receive crude oil allocations in October, as the war in the Middle East hits global energy markets.
European refineries buy Saudi Arabian crude under term contracts meant to ensure a standard monthly supply, but energy companies can cancel those shipments under extraordinary circumstances, known as force majeure.
Earlier this month, Qatar extended its force majeure for liquefied natural gas shipments to early November because of the maritime blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.”

“force majeure.”

Saudi Arabia announced that they are stopping shipments to the EU because of the war with Yemen.

But did you catch the other important data point?

Qatar has also stopped its natural gas shipments to Europe.

Coincidence?

Can you see who is getting financially squeezed?

Winter is approaching and the people of Europe have a history of dealing very harshly with “elitist rulers” who live a life of luxury while the people suffer.

We are ALREADY seeing the people in Europe rising up in anger over immigration. Wait till they don’t have heat and energy in winter time.

Can you see who is going to have to come to Trump, begging for oil and natural gas this “winter?”

Guess what one of the first things Trump will demand from the EU and NATO?

The END to funding Zelensky’s European grift WAR.

It’s coming.

All coordinated and planned.

The CENTER of the financial world, used to be located in Europe and has been for many generations.

Guess where the center of the financial world is located now?

Mar A Lago.

And the elites in Europe are going to be kissing Trump’s ring soon.
