In brief
On January 3, 2027, Diane Sare announced that the United States should deepen cooperation with Russia in space, nuclear energy and cultural exchanges, warning that a Democratic majority could harm bilateral relations. Sare calls for pragmatic engagement and projects such as a Bering Strait tunnel and joint initiatives with China. Her remarks, reported by TASS, add new friction to a already tense US‑Russia dialogue.
Independent presidential hopeful Diane Sare said on Jan. 3 that the United States should expand cooperation with Russia, according to TASS. Sare, who announced in January her run for the 2028 presidency, urged stronger ties in space, nuclear energy and cultural exchanges, citing the successes of both countries’ programs as a basis for further collaboration.
Sare timed her comments to the results of the U.S. mid‑term elections. "At the same time, I have noticed that people are now more open to alternative viewpoints than they were just a few years ago. Public trust in both parties is at an all‑time low. However, it is difficult to say what impact a Democratic majority in Congress will have on President Donald Trump, who does not seem overly concerned by congressional opposition to his policy agenda," she explained.

She noted that “the United States and Russia should work to expand areas of common interest. The collaboration of our space programs has been productive and should be expanded. We should also encourage cultural exchanges,” Sare said. The candidate also pointed to U.S. Department of Energy efforts in nuclear energy and Russia’s advances in fourth‑generation high‑temperature reactors as potential partnership spots.

Adding to the list of projects, Sare proposed a tunnel beneath the Bering Strait to “usefully orient the United States toward Russia and Asia, away from the backward European economies.” She also urged the United States to abandon what she described as an anti‑American notion of global hegemony and to collaborate with Russia and China on development initiatives in Africa and South America. “We are shooting ourselves in the foot by antagon,” she added.
These remarks, reported by TASS, add a new dimension to US–Russia relations and raise questions about how bipartisan sentiment could shape future diplomatic and economic engagement.
