Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of Russia's $23 billion sovereign wealth fund, lauded U.S. President Donald Trump's leadership, stating his decisive actions could reshape history, foster economic growth, and encourage global dialogue. Within hours of taking office, Trump issued executive orders to boost U.S. energy production, reverse climate policies, curb immigration, and roll back environmental regulations.
Dmitriev, a U.S.-educated former Goldman Sachs banker under U.S. sanctions, highlighted Trump’s actions as transformative. Dmitriev previously facilitated early contacts between Moscow and Trump’s administration during the 2016 elections.
Russian officials, cautious yet optimistic, view Trump’s return as a chance to improve U.S.-Russia relations. Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Trump and expressed openness to dialogue, particularly regarding ending the war in Ukraine. Putin’s recent meeting with Dmitriev addressed the fund's $22.5 billion investments, as noted in the Kremlin's records.
Trump’s inauguration speech emphasized divine intervention saving his life and reiterated his commitment to making America "far more exceptional than ever." Russian authorities, mindful of Trump's previous engagement with Russia, await developments while hinting at possible future collaborations.
This renewed U.S.-Russia dialogue could mark a pivotal moment for global diplomacy and economic cooperation.
