Trumps Return Could Shift Dynamics for Russias Sanctioned Arctic LNG 2 Project A second #Trump administration may impact Russias Arctic LNG 2 project, which has struggled under Western sanctions. Ana Subasic, Market Analyst for #LNG and Natural Gas at Kpler Insight, noted, Though it is too soon to say for certain, Arctic LNG 2's future will likely become entwined with the shifting dynamics of US-Russia relations under a second Trump administration. Trump has previously shown openness to solutions vastly different from current approaches, including territorial concessions in the Ukraine to resolve the ongoing war efforts. Kremlin remains cautious, however. Lets not forget that we are talking about an unfriendly country that is directly and indirectly involved in a war against our state, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said. Sanctions from the US, EU, and UK restrict Arctic LNG 2s operations and export capacity, but Subasic suggests that a Republican-led Department of State could take a restrained approach: Given the unpredictability of Trumps narrative, it is not improbable that sanctions could loosen to a degree in an attempt to re-establish relations or they wont continue to ramp up. Kpler data shows #Russia discreetly lifted eight LNG cargoes from Arctic LNG 2, amounting to 0.46 million tonnes. However, these remain unsold due to the constraints of current sanctions.
