US media reported that adviser of Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump, a big businessman Carter Page held a series of meetings with Russian senior officials.
According to US media, during the meetings Page allegedly promised representatives of Russia to lift economic sanctions against the country in the case of Trump’s election victory. The only source of this information is ‘own unnamed sources’ of US journalists.
Page is a founder and managing partner of the Global Energy Capital Company, which is engaged in investment in the energy sector of developing countries. For a long time he was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the US National Center for Policy Analysis. Page spent three years in Moscow, where he was responsible for the opening of Merrill Lynch office and was an adviser on key transactions of Gazprom, RAO UES and other companies. Currently, he is an advisor to Trump on foreign policy.
Statements that Trump cooperates with Russia and even is sponsored by Moscow are regularly heard by his rivals from the Democratic Party. The country’s media have also repeatedly speculated that Russia wants to influence the outcome of the elections in the US. At the same time, officials, including President Barack Obama, warn that the final conclusion has not been done in this regard.
Earlier, Trump stated that he intends to “get on” with the Russian President, as he believes that the two countries can work together more effectively in order to deal with a number of global threats, including terrorism. This approach caused a sharp criticism from Hillary Clinton and all the US Democrats, who even claimed that Russian authorities allegedly support the Republicans in the election. Moscow rejects accusations of any interference in the electoral campaign in the US.
However, US media find more and more ‘irrefutable’ facts that prove links between Trump and the Russian government, as the presidential election approaches.
