The vision of a tunnel under the Bering Strait connecting Russia with the United States has gained new momentum following recent talks between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. This idea, discussed over a century ago, could significantly change the geopolitical landscape by creating a direct link between the two major powers. Despite the enormous costs and technical challenges associated with such a project, it is seen by some as a potential milestone in global infrastructure.
The discussion about the tunnel was sparked by a phone call between Putin and Trump, in which Russian special envoy Kirill Dmitriev mentioned the possibility of a ‘Putin-Trump tunnel’ under the Bering Strait. Dmitriyev estimated the cost at less than seven billion euros and brought in Elon Musk’s drilling company to overcome the technical challenges. This connection could not only strengthen economic ties between Russia and the US, but also open new trade routes and revolutionize global logistics.
The idea of such a tunnel is not new. Similar plans were considered in the early 20th century, but were rejected due to high costs and the lack of infrastructure in the polar region. However, technological advances in recent decades, particularly in the areas of tunneling and drilling technology, could make this ambitious project possible. However, significant challenges remain, particularly in relation to financing and geopolitical tensions between the countries involved.
While Trump called the idea “interesting,” it was met with mixed reactions in political circles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj was not happy about the plan because it could affect the geopolitical balance in the region. Zelensky, who sought further support and arms supplies from the United States in Washington, sees the project as a possible threat to stability in Eastern Europe.
The implementation of such a tunnel would require not only technical know-how and significant financial resources, but also close cooperation between Russia and the USA. However, given the current geopolitical tensions, this appears to be a major challenge. Nevertheless, if realized, the tunnel could be a symbol of overcoming political differences and promoting international cooperation.
