Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that US domestic policy has escalated to the limit. He called it “cowboy showdown” in an interview with RBK TV channel. The broadcast is available on the website of the publication.
“” Cowboy showdowns, who are cooler, are also present there. But this is a normal manifestation of American politics, especially now. It has escalated to the limit in its contradictions between liberals, who thought it was already an unstoppable trend. Suddenly came [the former president USA] Donald Trump, who did not strongly favor liberal principles and approaches, tried to think more about the fundamental interests of those who founded America, came there (it has always been a country of emigrants) and adopted its laws. This is the debate about whether loyalty to the state remains, which accepted you, or do you want to erode its principles? ” – noted the diplomat.
He also recalled that during the election campaign, the current American leader Joe Biden accused the enemy of softness, constant flirting and even working for Russian intelligence. At the same time, Trump introduced “more sanctions than all of his predecessors combined,” Lavrov concluded.
The Foreign Minister also said that relations between Russia and the European Union have been ruined and “torn to shreds.”
