Back in July, 2016, NBC News confirmed that the three-star general was being vetted by the Trump campaign.

From Business Insider March 10, 2022: "Here are the major companies that have not pulled out of Russia following its invasion of Ukraine"

"Cummins — which designs and manufactures engines, filtration, and power generation products — has continued business with Russia, where it has 700 employees."

"The company announced on March 8 that it has halted some of its operations in the country, and has denied reports that it was providing engines Russian military vehicles."

"We have halted some of our operations, but we are continuing to conduct business with Russia that supports the health and safety of citizens on the ground where Cummins equipment powers parts of the agricultural sector, hospitals and many other elements of daily life and not for the defense or military," Cummins spokesperson Jon Mills told The Republic. "Our intent is to limit the impact on citizens who are not participants in this invasion." https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-ukraine-invastion-war-sanctions-corporate-response-companies-not-leaving-2022-3
