sea shipping needs a port to use. Russia seems to have locked up sea ports near Ukraine & Syria.

Assuming trumps 'allies' means Turkey and Ukraine. Poland I guess is another 'ally' who needs winter heating but they're a very poor country. I guess they would use north sea shipping ports? much closer to Russia & a far distance for USA shipping.

WW2 Poland hasn't recovered very much from what war did to their economy, their entire country was looted & exterminated.

Always overland but that goes through lands not very safe and many pipelines, trains controlled & built by by Russia.

I think trumps just flails to find some tiny weak deal he can make for his media "SHOW" to pump-up as incredible trump story of the week.
