Like Teleskiguy alluded to, I believe that Putin offered Trump a big chunk of Gazprom in return for lifting sanctions, and Trump took him up on it.

The greedy son of a bitch sold out the country for Russian money AFAIC.

I wouldn’t go there, based on history. Gazprom is a business Orange Foolius knows nothing about. He’s not an energy trader guy. He’s all in on real estate, resort deals and trump-branded grifts. That doesn’t mean mean he wouldn’t be willing to launder stolen energy rubles through refinancing his properties, but actually owning a chunk of Gazprom might a bridge too far.
