The RSPP has announced its intentions to contact the United States on the subject of a temporary lifting of the sanctions. It is time to send an appeal to Washington, noted the head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Alexander Shukhin. "Just today I told my colleagues that it was time to apply for a license from the American side. If this is done, it is a good sign that the diesel deal will not remain the only positive in our relations in the near future," he said in response to TASs. According to the "New York Post", the administration of US President Donald Trump is considering the possibility of removing restrictions on the Russian Direct Investment Fund, which is headed by the President's special envoy Kirill Dmitriev.
