The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, Putin�s negotiator Kirill Dmitriev, and Jared Kushner worked together in Miami on a business-driven peace plan for the Ukraine war.
� Dmitriev proposed U.S. access to $300B in frozen Russian assets, joint Arctic mineral and energy projects, and even a joint Mars mission with SpaceX.
� European and Ukrainian officials protested after the 28-point plan leaked, calling it heavy on Russian terms.
� Putin-linked oligarchs approached U.S. investors about rare-earth, gas and pipeline deals, including reviving Nord Stream 2.
� U.S. businessmen tied to Trump�s circle explored deals with Rosneft, Lukoil, and Arctic LNG, while Exxon discussed returning to Sakhalin.
� Witkoff met Putin multiple times, sometimes without full CIA/State visibility; an August Alaska summit quickly collapsed.
� Zelensky sought long-range U.S. missiles, but Trump declined after speaking with Putin; Witkoff urged Ukraine to seek a 10-year tariff exemption instead.
� The White House told WSJ the peace plan is still being refined.
