Russia offers China energy lifeline as Trump strangles global supply



Russia has offered to help China with any potential energy shortfall, as Trump's war in the Middle East heightens geopolitical divisions and threatens global commodity supplies.

“Russia can certainly fill the resource gap that has arisen in China and other countries interested in working with us on an equal and mutually beneficial basis,” Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Wednesday.

Moscow and Beijing have both condemned the U.S. and Israel’s military operations against Iran.

Russia, meanwhile, has seen a windfall from the Iran war as Middle East energy supplies have been impacted, prompting major buyers India and China to significantly increase imports, massively boosting Russias fossil fuel export revenues.

Russia and China have condemned the blockade preventing ships from entering and exiting Iranian ports with China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson slamming the “dangerous and irresponsible act” that will further enflame tensions in the region, in unusually outspoken comments.
