Trump's son hunted with Putin's companion. An endangered argali sheep was shot in Mongolia

According to the Financial Times, Umar Kremlow spent two days hunting with Donald Trump Jr. in Mongolia. The report is based on various sources, including social media and flight data. Kremlow arrived in Ulaanbaatar after a conference in Kazakhstan and then traveled by helicopter to the hunting camp. Trump Jr. reportedly hunted an argali, a protected species. A representative of Trump Jr. stated their relationship is personal, formed through mutual interests in outdoor activities. However, experts warn that such connections could be exploited by Russian intelligence. Kremlow, head of IBA since 2020, has ties to Russian elites and was previously involved in boxing. He has been linked to nationalist groups and received a state honor from Putin in 2026. Analysts view figures like Kremlow as potential agents of influence for the Kremlin.
