Washington is resorting to coercive measures in its push for economic dominance, the Russian foreign minister has said
The US is trying to take control of all international energy supply routes in an attempt to attain global economic dominance, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.
During his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month, US President Donald Trump claimed he had made America “the hottest country anywhere in the world” in terms of business activity. He called the US “the economic engine on the planet,” warning that “you all follow us down, and you follow us up.”
In an interview with the TV BRICS media network on Monday, ahead of Diplomatic Workers’ Day on February 10, Lavrov said that “the US objective – to dominate the world economy – is being realized using a fairly large number of coercive measures that are incompatible with fair competition.”
As part of this push, the Americans “want to take control of all the routes for providing the world’s leading countries and all continents with energy resources,” he said.
