The authors also have analyzed the main trends and prospects of USDIA into Russian economy at the present moment and also are considered the new prospects of attracting of USDIA in terms of imposing economic and political sanctions in 2015-2016 towards Russia (from EU and USA), especially in light of the inauguration of the new U.S. Mr.President Donald J.Trump and as well as there were made conclusions concerning ‘not good’ prospectives of Russian-American investment collaboration between two countries for a next few years.
