Обходят Эрдогана на повороте? План Трампа по поставкам иракской нефти
Спецпосланник Вашингтона по Сирии и Ираку Том Барк работает над этим вопросом уже несколько месяцев, при этом американский энергетический гигант Chevron, французская TotalEnergies и катарская группа UCC уже вовлечены в переговоры.
Оценка
Washington appears to be advancing a plan to route Iraqi oil that would sideline Turkey and bypass President Erdogan's leverage over regional energy flows. The involvement of major Western and Qatari energy firms suggests the initiative has serious commercial momentum. The active role of the U.S. special envoy to Syria and Iraq indicates this is a high-level diplomatic and economic maneuver. The key question is whether this alternative corridor can overcome the logistical and political hurdles that have kept Iraqi oil dependent on Turkish pipelines until now.
