According to Xinhua news agency on October 17, U.S. President Trump wrote on social media that on the same day he had a long conversation with Russian President Putin to discuss the conflict in Russia and Ukraine, U.S.-Russian trade and high-level meetings.

And soon after the two people phone call, Putin sent Trump a gift, plans to build a US-Russian transnational channel near Alaska, attracting the attention of the outside world.

According to TASS news on October 18, the CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitryev said in social media that the Russian side proposed to build a 100 km long transnational tunnel under the Strait of Beirut connecting the United States and Russia, and named the "Putin-Trump tunnel", symbolizing the unity of the United States and Russia, to build the future together.

The Russian side claimed, hoping to be involved with the United States in the construction work, suggested the construction by Elon Musk, the boring company in charge of the underground tunnel project, which could reduce the cost from $65 billion to $8 billion, expected to be completed in eight years, and of course Russia is willing to bear part of the cost.

It is worth mentioning that Demiriev, who put forward this proposal, has an unusual identity. Besides being the CEO of the Russian Federation Direct Investment Fund, he has another identity, and he is also the President's Special Envoy for Foreign Economic Cooperation. That is to say, this plan was instructed by Putin.

Obviously, if this highly strategic project of US-Russia can be completed, it will bring great political influence, which is very pleased to Trump, the Russian side approved this proposal after the call, is also to please Trump, soften US-Russian relations, pave the way for US-Russia to meet again, weaken the impact of Zelensky's visit to the United States.

However, although Russia has a good thought, the United States is a little excited, but these two countries have no money in the war, one owes too much, it is rather difficult to complete such a large project, so Russia hopes to attract China to participate.

In an interview with TASS, Russian government expert Zavialov said that the underwater tunnel in the White River Strait is attractive for China, and China can consider participating in it, which will help increase trade between China and the United States, and Russia will also benefit from it.

However, at the same time, Russia also admitted that the cost of building this line is also very high and the geopolitical risks are great, which may become an obstacle to China's reluctance to participate.

Although the saying goes that you must build roads first if you want to get rich, the prerequisite is to build them near dense residential areas or industrial belts, so that logistics can be improved to increase productivity. Obviously, this principle does not apply to the northern region of the United States and Russia, which has a perennial winter, is sparsely populated, and has poor infrastructure, and input and output are not proportional. For us, instead of participating in this route, it is better to build Northeast China well. This is the last word.

In fact, Russia has made this proposal, the main purpose is to please Trump, through image projects, to pave the way for future US-Russian contacts, for such a political purpose greater than the actual economic benefits, we should treat cautiously.
