Middle East Funds Emerge as Biggest Owners in Trump's Russian Oil Deal

A New York Times report says Middle Eastern investment funds are the largest owners behind a Trump-brokered deal involving Russian oil, with Lukoil assets at the center of the arrangement. The finding has drawn attention because it suggests Gulf money, not American or European investors, stands to benefit most from any restructuring of Russia's oil business.
Why now: Fresh reporting ties a Trump Russia oil deal to major Middle Eastern ownership, raising questions about sanctions, geopolitics and who profits.
