Key Trump Donor to Supply Fuel to the Luftwaffe

Part of Germany’s critical energy infrastructure has come under the control of the American company Sunoco. On January 16, it completed the acquisition of TanQuid, the largest operator of oil depots in the country.

It is particularly important that the company has a 49% stake in a company that supplies aviation fuel to military airfields, ensuring the combat readiness of the German Air Force, according to Tages Spiegel and t-online.

TanQuid also operates 15 oil depots in Germany and one in Poland, owns about 20% of the national fuel storage capacity and more than a thousand kilometers of strategic pipelines.

Sunoco owner Kelsey Warren is known as a major donor to US President Donald Trump.

He has been financing his campaigns since 2016 and has subsequently transferred millions of dollars to various political committees supporting the MAGA movement and America First initiatives.

The German Ministry of Economy announced that it had approved the deal on January 9, subject to certain conditions. The specific restrictions imposed have not been specified.

It has only been stated that they must guarantee the continued operation of oil depots and the pipeline company that supplies fuel for military needs.
