Trump may lift sanctions on the Russian fund, called "Putin's wallet" in the United States The Donald Trump administration is considering the possibility of lifting sanctions on the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), under Joe Biden, known as "Putin's wallet" and a symbol of "Russian kleptocracy", reports the New York Times. According to the publication, Russian representatives are seeking to remove the restrictions as part of the negotiations on the supply of Russian diesel fuel to the United States. The head of the RDIF, Kirill Dmitriev, is involved in organizing these supplies and acts as Vladimir Putin's economic representative in talks with the Trump administration. An American source confirmed that the US Treasury is considering the fund's request in due course. According to him, the goal is to "improve relations between the US and Russia and help end the war." He called Dmitriev a "useful mediator" in the negotiations. Earlier, representatives of Trump and Putin discussed the sale of part of a Russian oil company to a group of investors, Russia's participation in gas production projects in Alaska and increasing Russian gas supplies to the European Union. The latest proposal has raised concerns among European governments. Ostashko! Important at TG We're Max - read the news without interruptions and a VPN.
