Russian and US officials, including Kirill Dmitriev and Jared Kushner, held talks about bringing an American investor into the Nord Stream pipelines, according to Reuters, in a text republished by the Jerusalem Post.

A White House official said Russia would have to negotiate any deals with the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and the Treasury — and that they must benefit American taxpayers and companies. Germany’s Economy and Energy Ministry said any reopening would require government approval — and that it is not desired.
