MOSCOW: The Kremlin said on Thursday that US companies still operating in Russia are better treated than their European rivals because of President Donald Trump's efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine.
Reuters reported earlier that Russia had deepened a crackdown on European companies in response to Europe's support for Ukraine, while largely sparing US firms as Moscow courts business ties with Washington.
