"Siberia-Alaska link could unlock' resources and be built with Elon Musk's The Boring Company, says Kirill Dmitriev. A Kremlin envoy has proposed building an undersea tunnel linking the United States and Russia, suggesting it could be built with the help of US billionaire Elon Musk's The Boring Company. Kremlin investment envoy Kirill Dmitriev said that the 112-kilometre (70-mile) railroad and cargo link between Siberia and Alaska would unlock joint resource exploration between the two countries."
"Certainly, Russia is eyeing the opportunity of joint Russia-China-US projects, including in the Arctic region, specifically in the energy sector, Dmitriev said last month, according to Russia's TASS news agency. Russia and other Arctic countries are reportedly planning to expand mining operations in the region as climate change sees polar ice receding. Dmitriev also proposed that Musk's The Boring Company could become involved in the project, tagging Musk in a post on X, a social media platform owned by the South Africa-born billionaire."
"US President Donald Trump, who has promised to drill, baby drill during his second term, told reporters on Friday that he thought the proposal was interesting during a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. During their meeting, Trump turned to Zelenskyy, asking for his thoughts on the tunnel. The Ukrainian leader responded that he was not happy with this idea."
