In brief
Diane Sare, an independent presidential hopeful, says the United States should expand cooperation with Russia in areas like space and nuclear energy. She also calls for a Bering Strait tunnel and partnerships with China. Recent U.S.‑Russia talks added new tensions as Putin suspended a nuclear treaty.
Diane Sare, who announced her 2028 independent presidential run in January, told TASS that the United States should broaden its cooperation with Russia. She highlighted space, nuclear power and cultural exchanges as key areas for partnership.
Sare said the U.S. space program has already seen productive collaboration with Russia. "We should expand our chestnut exchanges in space," she said, stressing the value of shared scientific ventures.
She cautioned that the results of the 2026 U.S. mid‑term congressional elections might worsen U.S.‑Russia relations, noting that a Democratic majority could exacerbate what she calls anti‑Russian hysteria. She added that public trust in both parties is at an all‑time low.
In nuclear matters, Sare pointed to the U.S. Department of Energy’s push for nuclear energy and Russia’s development of fourth‑generation high‑temperature reactors. She said this area offered “another good avenue for partnership.”
Sare also proposed building a tunnel beneath the Bering Strait as a way to orient the United States toward Russia and Asia. She called for the U.S. to abandon an “anti‑American notion of global hegemony” and collaborate with Russia and China on Africa and South America.
“At the same time, I have noticed that people are now more open to alternative viewpoints than they were just a few years ago.”She said, according to TASS.
In a separate development, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the suspension of a key U.S.‑Russia nuclear treaty and said he was looking to deepen military cooperation between the two nations, according to ABC News.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration’s focus on nuclear power has shifted to rebuilding domestic uranium production, according to a Washington Times article on the subject.
These proposals and recent policy shifts could reshape the strategic balance between the United States and Russia, affecting global security dynamics in space, nuclear energy and regional infrastructure projects.
