![]() 1151 Wednesday, 18 February, 2026, 20:01 The United States is negotiating with the Russian side on the creation of an atomic energy data center and the construction of a tunnel under the Bering Strait. This was reported on February 18 by the British magazine The Economist. According to media reports, the American business is interested in acquiring shares in the energy assets of the Russian Federation, as well as in the joint development of rare earth metals, oil and gas deposits in the Arctic region. In addition, the United States is interested in entering the Russian wheat market. According to experts, Russia's status as the largest grain exporter makes this area extremely attractive to American traders. "Russia is the world's largest wheat exporter. We would like to participate," the trader said in an interview with the publication. In addition, according to The Economist, over the past six months, the American side has been actively working on a scenario for the possible lifting of anti-Russian sanctions. It was also noted that a number of large American companies, including Apple and McDonald's, have registered new trademarks on the Russian market.
