The desire to build a tunnel that would connect the Russian Federation and the United States was expressed on October 16 by the special representative of the illegitimate Russian President Vladimir Putin for investment and economic cooperation, Kirill Dmitriev (known as Putin’s negotiator).
With this idea, he turned to the richest man in the world, American billionaire Elon Musk, who until recently had good relations with Trump.
The media asked Trump if he was interested in such an offer.
“A tunnel from Russia to Alaska. I just found out about it. It’s interesting. I’ll have to think about it. I haven’t heard about it,” the American president replied.
According to Trump, a good road was recently built in Alaska that will provide access to many mineral resources.
The head of the White House asked Zelensky what he thought about such an initiative of the Russian Federation.
“I’m not happy with her,” the Ukrainian president answered briefly.
