https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/letters/2019/01/19/letter-who-will-profit/"Evraz, Russia's second-largest steel company, owns three American steel companies: one in Pueblo, Colo., one in Portland, Ore., and one in Chicago. Russian Roman Abramovich, who lives in Moscow, owns the controlling shares in these "American" steel companies.
If Evraz gets a contract to supply steel slats for a border wall, a lot of our hard-earned tax dollars will end up in the pockets of Russian oligarch Abramovich and his cronies, including Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Interestingly, Ivanka Trump is friends with Abramovich's wife.

He's using that ploy with many thing too, like policies sales , and the upcoming infrastructure contractors also. It'll all be scams to funnel money to himself or others for him.
