The New York Times has published a story announcing America First LNG's deal to develop stranded LNG on the north slope of Alaska. Development would create exciting export opportunities and make natural gas more competitive in Alaska alongside outstanding projects like the Alaska pipeline.
This is all about the U.S. leading global trade flows, dominating energy development, and removing leverage from China. The piece called Gentry Beach a pioneer in terms of leveraging tangible trade with Russia at this crucial moment, which will require increased collaboration between the United States, Ukraine, and Russia to achieve a durable peace in Europe.
The piece quotes Mr. Beach on the current Ukraine-Russia conflict:

Dear America First Global
It is such a relief to learn that Gentry Beach has assumed a leadership role in
exploring possible resumption of trade deals with Russia. I would have thought
Gentry's relationship contact with Leonid Mikhelson will prove particularly useful
in reestablishing trade ties regarding natural gas.
I can only hope that Gentry's preternatual abilities in arranging such deals
will not be hampered by any concern for the optics of re-engaging with Vladimir Putin,
or with patriotic oligarchs like Mikhelson - who support the Russian
invasion to take down the Nazi puppets who control the government in Ukraine.
I am sure that Gentry is doing what he can to bring an end to this
conflict. Sadly, Putin's effort…
