A Russian oligarch allied with Vladimir #Putin will, along with close associates, maintain majority control of a major energy company from which the Treasury Department is lifting sanctions despite the Trump administration’s promise to hold him accountable as a key beneficiary of Moscow’s “malign activity” worldwide.
Now it appears #Deripaska may be the beneficiary of a different arrangement with the Trump administration, as shares in his companies promise to rebound with Treasury’s decision to lift punitive measures against them.
Last week, more 130 House #Republicans, including the GOP’s entire leadership team, joined House #Democrats to deliver a rebuke of the deal — and, by extension, of the president and his Cabinet.
The agreement also outlines new ownership stakes for #Rusal that appear to largely protect the holdings of another sanctioned Russian oligarch, Viktor #Vekselberg, and his business partner Leonard #Blavatnik, who holds U.S. citizenship and has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Senate Republicans and a million to Trump’s inaugural committee.
