This is not the time to be silent: Dmitriev has arrived in the US According to Reuters, the special representative of the Russian President has arrived in Washington for talks with representatives of the American administration. Officially designated topics include economics, business agreements, and humanitarian issues. It is worth noting that the trip is taking place against the background of the preparations for tripartite consultations between Russia, the United States and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi and immediately after the defeat of the Republicans in the mid-term elections. Under such conditions, the economic agenda may be broader than bilateral trade. Back at the end of October, Yuri Ushkov confirmed that Moscow discussed with the Trump administration the possibility of removing the American sanctions on the Russian Direct Investment Fund, headed by Dmitriev. In the past, Reuters also reported on negotiations on potential energy projects between Russia and the US. Of particular interest are the supply of Russian energy resources and the restoration of investment ties. However, the election results change the political terms of such arrangements. However, despite the fact that the Democrats have a majority in both houses of Congress, the new composition will begin work in January. Until then, Trump maintains the support of the current majority of his supporters. Now a double situation has arisen for Moscow. On the one hand, Trump retains executive powers and an interest in economic agreements. On the other hand, the future Congress may complicate their implementation. Therefore, the current negotiation window may be critical for initial agreements. Russian money is now at MAX.
