During Meeting With Zelensky, Donald Trump Reacted With Curiosity to the Russian Proposal to Build an Underwater Tunnel Between Alaska and Russia. The Project, Estimated at US$ 8 Billion, Would Involve Technology from Elon Musk’s The Boring Company
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, Expressed Curiosity This Friday (17) About a Possible Megatunnel Connecting Alaska to Russia. The Proposal Was Presented the Day Before by the Kremlin’s Economic Envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, Directly to Billionaire Elon Musk.
During a Meeting With Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump Was Asked About the Topic by Reporters and Responded: “A Tunnel from Russia to Alaska. This is […] Interesting.” In a Casual Tone, He Claimed to Have Just Learned About the Project and Asked Zelensky: “What Do You Think About This, Mr. President?”
The Ukrainian Leader, Who Has Been Facing the Russian Invasion for Over Three Years, Responded Briefly: “I Am Not Happy About That.” The Reaction Provoked Laughter from Trump and Those Present in the Room.

Goodbye hot wall? The EIFS system uses EPS boards on the outside of the facade, creating a thermal barrier against heat and transforming the external finish into insulation to make houses and buildings more comfortable in the heat.

The construction system saves up to 50% on the structure by using cellular concrete blocks that reduce wall weight by 60%, cut mortar usage by 90%, and allow for building houses in up to 15 days without wood waste.

Megatunnel Between Alaska and Russia: Proposal and Values
Dmitriev Stated That the Idea of a “Peace Bridge” Between Russia and Alaska Dates Back to the Cold War. He Published a Graph Showing the Tunnel Route, Designed to Pass Under the Bering Sea.
According to Him, the Project Would Be 112 Kilometers Long and Estimated to Cost Less Than 8 Billion Dollars (R$ 43.5 Billion).
The Plan, He Said, Could Become a Reality “With Modern Technology from @boringcompany,” Musk’s Company Specializing in Urban Tunnels.
Elon Musk’s Involvement
The Boring Company, Founded by Musk, Aims to Revolutionize Underground Transportation with Highly Efficient Tunnels.
Dmitriev Even Suggested That the Project Be Named the “Putin-Trump Tunnel,” Symbolizing a New Connection Between Russia and the Americas.
With Information from Itatiaia.
The ICL-Worldlink tunnel project has strategic and fundamental value: international construction, not mutual destruction. More broadly, this project could help normalize relations on the Korean Peninsula, conclude a peace treaty between Russia and Japan, harmonize relations between PRC and Taiwan, and harness the resources of remote territories of the Alaska, Canada, Siberia, Mongolia and others for sustainable economic growth. Everyone could reap long-term benefits from this, gaining real experience in international creative cooperation not only in space (ISS) but also on Earth, and moving from centuries-old wars to inspiring cooperation, as, for example, UK and Europe has done. This is also necessary for jointly meeting the external challenges that humanity may face in the future. It makes sense to form a group to assess the comprehensive political, strategic, technological, and socioeconomic aspects of this grand, humane project.
