Desitdown News (Kremlin envoy proposes ‘Putin Trump tunnel’ to link Russia, US)

A senior Kremlin envoy has proposed constructing an undersea tunnel linking Russia and the United States across the Bering Strait, calling it the “Putin-Trump Friendship Tunnel,” in a symbolic gesture he said would represent a new era of cooperation between the two global powers. The idea, unveiled by Russian presidential envoy for the Far East, Yury Trutnev, was presented during a regional investment forum in Vladivostok on Thursday. Trutnev claimed the 100- kilometre tunnel could serve as both a transportation and energy corridor, connecting Russia’s Chukotka region with Alaska in the United States. He said the project would “stand as atestament to peace, dialogue, and shared prosperity.” “Such a tunnel would demonstrate that even adversaries can build bridges — or tunnels — when it serves humanity’s progress,” Trutnev said, adding that he envisioned it being named after Russian President Vladimir Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump, whom he credited for “attempting to stabilize U.S.-Russia relations during turbulent times.” While Russian state media praised the idea as a bold symbol of global unity, U.S. officials and analysts dismissed it as unrealistic. The U.S. State Department declined to comment directly but noted that “no such infrastructure project is under consideration.” Economists have also questioned the feasibility of the proposal, citing the immense cost, extreme environmental conditions of the Arctic region, and the near-total freeze in diplomatic relations following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Despite skepticism, Trutnev insisted that the tunnel could “one day become reality,” emphasizing Russia’s technological capability and the need for “visionary leadership.” The proposal, widely mocked online, has nonetheless stirred debate within Russia’s political circles, with some lawmakers calling it a “publicity stunt” aimed at distracting from domestic economic troubles. #Desitdown #News #Kremlin #envoy #proposes ‘#Putin #Trump #tunnel’ to #link #Russia #US)
