Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday offered to help negotiate a deal to stop the fighting between Russia and Ukraine after European leaders said leaks in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were likely due to "sabotage."
"Be strategic, be smart (brilliant!), get a negotiated deal done NOW. Both sides need and want it. The entire World is at stake. I will head up group???" Trump wrote on his platform Truth Social.
"U.S. 'Leadership' should remain 'cool, calm, and ''dry*''' on the SABOTAGE of the Nord Stream Pipelines," he wrote, seemingly mocking the Biden administration by putting the word "leadership" in quotes. "The Russia/Ukraine catastrophe should NEVER have happened, and would definitely not have happened if I were President."
About 15 minutes before offering to lead negotiations, Trump wrote on Truth Socal that the apparent sabotage of the pipelines "could lead to a major escalation" in the Russia-Ukraine conflict or even to a larger "war."
Russia shut off natural gas to Europe indefinitely earlier this month due to "mechanical problems" with the Nord Stream pipelines, a set of two gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany.
The Nord Stream pipelines began to leak on Tuesday and the European Union Council and leaders across the continent have said it appears to be the result of deliberate acts of sabotage. The pipeline problems come as Russia is escalating its invasion of Ukraine with a "partial" military mobilization and draft.
