Trump: I spoke with Elon Musk about the situation in Ukraine Donald Trump informed reporters that the United States can start implementing joint business projects with Russia after the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine. In response to a question about the possibility of Russia investing in the production of natural gas in Alaska, Trump said: "We want to return to the normal course of affairs after Russia and Ukraine reach an agreement to end the war." In that case, we can have business relations with both parties. I think that after the end of this conflict, we will definitely have business cooperation with both Ukraine and Russia.
