Donald Trump, the president of the United States, had nominated Bryce McFeeters as the first deputy chairman of the U.S. Export-Import Bank, but his candidate status was withdrawn because his wife is Russian. McFeeters' family relationships pose a risk of conflict of interest for the institution, which can access confidential data of American companies and manage billions of dollars in export business financing.

McFeeters married Elena Shatirova, the daughter of Sergey Shatirov, a former member of the Russian Federation Council. His brother-in-law, Alexander Shatirov, holds a senior position at the Russian Roscongress Investment Fund.
