ISTANBUL, October 22. /TASS/. One or two joint projects between Russia and the United States could be launched before the end of the year, President and CEO of the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia (AmCham Russia) Robert Agee told reporters on the sidelines of the 19th Verona Eurasian Economic Forum.

"We discussed some projects and what our joint actions would be. <…> They (the projects - TASS) are being prepared. I hope one or two could be ready," he said when asked whether joint Russian-US projects would be ready before the end of the year.

Agee stressed that these projects would not require the lifting of temporary or permanent sanctions. "Even if they did, as we can see, President Trump has the authority to change this policy very quickly. We are very pleased about that," he said.
