The Mueller report findings should help to improve relations between the U.S. and Russia, Andrey Kostin, the chairman and president of VTB Bank, said.
The Mueller report's findings that President Donald Trump did not collude with Russia to influence the 2016 election should help to improve relations between the U.S. and Russia, Andrey Kostin, the chairman and president of VTB Bank, told CNBC.
Following a 22-month investigation, special counsel Robert Mueller concluded in March that Trump did not collude with Russia to influence the vote, however. How much wider political appetite there is in the U.S. to forgive Russia, which has labored under various sanctions relating to election meddling and its annexation of Crimea in 2014, remains under scrutiny.
"Unfortunately, Russia could be hostage in this battle because even though the Mueller report did not have any proof of Mr Trump's relationship with Russia, there are still many voices on Capitol Hill saying there should be an impeachment, that they should remove Mr Trump, so I'm afraid Trump will continue to struggle for his survival," he said.In September 2018, VTB sold its U.S. unit, VTB Capital, to the division's management in a likely bid to mitigate sanctions.
