Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) head and Russian President's special representative for investment and economic cooperation Kirill Dmitriev criticized the British media for its attacks on US President Donald Trump.
In a post on social media platform X, Dmitriev quoted a Telegraph article based on anonymous sources. The newspaper claimed Trump is worried about the upcoming midterm elections.
Dmitriev wrote, "Why does the British press constantly attack President Trump, even on the 250th anniversary of the US?"
The US celebrates the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4. The 2026 midterm elections will traditionally be held on the first Tuesday of November.
