WASHINGTON, October 18. \/TASS Correspondent Sergei Yumatov. A tunnel built under the Bering Strait and connecting Russia and the United States would be the ideal embodiment of the concept of \u201cpeace through development.\u201d Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute, outlined this position in an interview with a TASS correspondent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is obvious to President Trump that normalizing U.S.-Russia relations will open up enormous prospects for developing economic cooperation between the two countries. The most impressive [project] would be the \u2018Putin-Trump tunnel,\u2019 which, as Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, noted on social media, would become a 70-mile link between America and Afro-Eurasia across the Bering Strait,\u201d the expert noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to her, \u201cthe tunnel would help open up the entire Russian Far East for development and create enormous investment opportunities for resource-poor countries.\u201d \u201cThe Putin-Trump Tunnel would be the ideal embodiment of the \u2018peace through development\u2019 concept,\u201d Zepp-LaRouche emphasized. The choice of Budapest as the venue for a new meeting between Russian and American leaders, according to the expert, \u201cwill remind Europeans of the nearly lost art of diplomacy.\u201d \u201cThis is good for the entire world,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Donald Trump called the Bering Strait tunnel project, which would connect Russia and the United States by rail, \u201cinteresting.\u201d Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian President\u2019s Special Representative for Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries and CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), stated that such a tunnel could be built in less than eight years, and its cost would not exceed $8 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea of connecting the transport systems of Eurasia and America via a tunnel has been discussed for decades. As The Times<\/em> newspaper noted in 2011, citing British experts, freight transportation along the Eurasia-U.S. highway would also connect resource-rich but sparsely populated areas of the planet with key overpasses, and would be less expensive, faster, and safer than by sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
