Donald Trump Jr. went hunting in Mongolia with a Kremlin-linked Russian businessman who helped bankroll his wedding

Donald Trump Jr., 48, the son of U.S. President Donald Trump, traveled to Mongolia in August 2026 to hunt, spending two days there with Umar Kremlev, head of the International Boxing Association and a businessman close to the Kremlin, the Financial Times found.
A charity auction raffled off the trip to Mongolia in the company of the U.S. president’s son. One of the winners did join Trump Jr. to hunt mountain sheep. Kremlev, who did not take part in the auction, also joined the trip, along with longtime Republican Party donor Kevin Small.
Trump Jr. flew into the Mongolian capital, Ulaanbaatar, in late August, after his wedding on a private island in the Caribbean Sea — a wedding Kremlev partly funded. He then traveled several hundred kilometers to a camp in western Mongolia, where he stayed with a small group of hunting guides, drivers, and cooks. Kremlev joined him there, accompanied by Arthur Martirosov, a businessman and partner at the venture fund Voskhod, which is under U.S. sanctions.
On August 30, Kremlev posted two videos to his Telegram channel. In one, he says he is flying to Mongolia with Martirosov, while in another he shows footage from the trip. In the caption, Kremlev asks, “How do you feel about hunting?”

One participant in the trip said Trump Jr. and Kremlev tried not to be photographed together while at the camp. Trump Jr. does not appear in Kremlev’s video either, though two organizers of his hunting trips do.
According to one guide, Trump Jr. killed an Altai argali — an endangered mountain sheep prized by hunters for its large horns — during the trip. After the hunt, he returned to the Mongolian capital. However, his trip did not end there — he held a series of other unofficial meetings, including a dinner with Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh.
As a member of the president’s family, Trump Jr. traveled with a U.S. Secret Service detail. The U.S. Embassy in Ulaanbaatar paid $18,715 for hotel rooms linked to an unspecified “visit” by Secret Service agents from August 23–September 6.
A representative for Trump Jr. said a mutual friend from hunting circles introduced him to Umar Kremlev. “Don has made clear that he has a personal friendship, not a business relationship, with Umar. Their friendship is largely based on their shared love for hunting, fishing and the outdoors. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that they went hunting together earlier this year,” the representative added.

However, intelligence experts polled by the FT believe these relationships create favorable conditions for manipulation.
“It really doesn’t matter if people have the most above board intentions,” said Holden Triplett, former director of counterintelligence at the U.S. National Security Council. “The moment the Russian security and intelligence services figure out someone has a relationship with anyone of high value, they will try to weaponize that.”

Official Information
In response to the Russian Federation’s continued use of its military-industrial base to support its aggression against Ukraine, the President has issued an Executive Order (E.O.) amending E.O. 14024 that provides the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) with new authorities to target foreign financial institutions for engaging in certain transactions. Foreign financial institutions that conduct or facilitate significant transactions or provide any service involving Russia’s military-industrial base run the risk of being sanctioned by OFAC. The United States and partners have put in place a sanctions and export controls regime that has severely restricted Russia’s ability to import many of the items that directly support its brutal and unjustified war against Ukraine. As a result, Russia is increasingly using third countries to evade sanctions and continue its procurement of certain critical items. The United States and partners have published multiple advisories, including detailed red flags, to warn the private sector about Russian sanctions evasion in support of its war machine and to support compliance efforts. OFAC’s new targeting authorities, which are aimed at foreign financial institutions that provide services to, or engage in significant transactions relating to, Russia’s military-industrial base, come as a natural evolution of OFAC’s work to counter evasion and hold accountable those perpetuating Russia’s war against Ukraine, including financial facilitators. OFAC is issuing this advisory to provide guidance to foreign financial institutions on the amendments to E.O. 14024, including practical guidance on how to identify sanctions risks and implement corresponding controls. For additional guidance on this E.O., please see FAQs 1146–1157.

Russian oligarchs' sons linked to American defense fund tied to ... - NV
The sons of two prominent Russian businessmen, Vadim Moshkovich and Petr Aven, are working at the American venture fund 8VC, which invests in companies that fulfill contracts for the U.S. Department of Defense and NATO, Forbes reported on Aug. 20.
The sons of two prominent Russian businessmen, Vadim Moshkovich and Petr Aven, are working at the American venture fund 8VC, which invests in companies that fulfill contracts for the U.S. Department of Defense and NATO, Forbes reported on Aug. 20.
8VC hired Jack Moshkovich as an analyst in 2018 after he graduated from Stanford University. His father, the founder of the agricultural conglomerate Rusagro, was sanctioned by the West shortly after Russian dictator Vladimir Putin launched the invasion of Ukraine.

In the summer of 2024, Jack Moshkovich obtained permanent residency in the United States. Denis Aven, the son of the co-founder of Alfa Group and the UK-based LetterOne, joined the fund in 2022, even though his father was already sanctioned by the EU and UK. The United States placed Petr Aven on its blacklist in 2023. Denis Aven is a Yale University graduate with an MBA from Harvard.
Joe Lonsdale, managing partner and co-founder of 8VC, explained that Denis Aven was hired after another private equity fund, fearing sanctions, refused him a position.
Lonsdale responded to Forbes’ inquiry with a lengthy post on X, where he praised Moshkovich as a "superstar" and Aven as a "top talent". He emphasized that 8VC strictly adheres to legal and regulatory norms but firmly stated, "I’m lucky to live in the greatest country in the world, and it will remain as such if we can keep working with the top talent of all backgrounds, including, yes, Chinese and Russians and Israelis et al, without demonizing people for imagined things they didn’t do." Lonsdale added, "We haven’t taken any money from their fathers or their fathers’ friends, and don’t need it."
8VC invests in a wide range of sectors, including defense-related companies. Among its investments are technology companies Palantir, co-founded by Lonsdale, and Anduril, both of which have billion-dollar contracts with the Pentagon. The fund has also backed billion-dollar startups like Saronic and Epirus, which specialize in unmanned maritime vehicles and anti-drone systems, respectively. Additionally, 8VC, along with the NATO Innovation Fund, has invested in the UK-based advanced composite materials manufacturer iCOMAT.
