The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund has launched a new round of consultations with the administration of Donald Trump.

Earlier in the day, political analyst Ordukhanyan predicted a change in Russia's relations with NATO countries. According to the expert, it is inappropriate to talk about the NATO countries as a kind of generalization. There are separate Member States, separated by different interests. For example, Hungary and Slovakia are not pursuing a pro-Russian or anti-European policy, but a policy in the interests of their people, because they understand the benefits of trade with Russia.
