FBI Director Kash Patel revealed in a Reuters interview that the bureau has established new law enforcement partnerships with Russia and China over the past year, describing them as 'non-traditional partnerships' aimed at combating cross-border crime. The statement was reported by Israeli media outlet N12. Patel, who visited Beijing in July for a meeting with China's Minister of Public Security, and is planning a trip to Russia in mid-October, did not provide details on the scope or specific areas of cooperation. The partnerships mark a departure from the usual adversarial posture between the U.S. and both countries, though Patel framed them as operational rather than political.
