The head of the FBI, Kash Patel, has established new and dynamic cooperation with law enforcement agencies in Russia and China.
The cooperation focuses on combating transnational crime, including cybercrime, drug trafficking, and child sexual exploitation.
The collaboration has been ongoing for approximately 15 months.
The FBI and its partners conduct joint operations and share intelligence on specific criminal activities.
The cooperation is described as limited in scope and restricted to certain types of transnational crime.
Kash Patel is expected to visit Russia in October, though the Kremlin has not confirmed the visit.
The cooperation represents a significant shift from previous U.S. policy toward Russia and China.
