Russia and Alaska may be united by a tunnel through the Bering Strait. This follows from the post of Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, published on the social network X in response to the published Soviet documents of the 35th US President John F. Kennedy, among which there is a plan for such a tunnel.

Dmitriev noted that it would take about eight years to build such a tunnel, and using modern technologies (The Boring Company of American billionaire Elon Musk) The construction cost will be $ 8 billion, which is significantly lower than previous estimates of $ 65 billion.

Dmitriev suggested calling this project the "Putin-Trump tunnel", in his opinion, it could symbolize the unity of the continents. He stressed that the published tunnel plan has the potential for joint development of Russian and US resources, job creation and economic growth. Despite the fact that RDIF already has experience in building cross-border railway bridges, for example, between Russia and China.
