Trump Administration Reviews Lifting Sanctions on Russia's Sovereign Wealth Fund
The Trump administration is reviewing the possibility of lifting US sanctions on Russia's sovereign wealth fund, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), amid talks aimed at improving US-Russia relations and ending the Ukraine war. The RDIF, previously sanctioned for its role in supporting Kremlin influence and financing the conflict, could gain greater international investment opportunities if sanctions are eased. Officials describe RDIF's chief as a key negotiator, while critics caution that sanctions relief might benefit Russia without securing concessions.
