The re-election of Donald Trump as president of the United States would not change the “destructive” American policy towards Russia, Moscow Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with CBS. “I don’t think there is a difference,” Lavrov said in the interview, reported by Russia’s Ria Novosti agency, “because there is a tendency to destroy Russian-American relations, their foundations, including agreements on strategic stability and Equality.”, mutual trust, controls, transparency and so on.” All of this began to be erased “at the time of Bush Jr.'s presidency,” the Russian foreign minister added. According to Lavrov, “those who ignored the good intentions shown by Putin in his first two terms (from 2000 to 2008, editor's note), who miscalculated, are the ones who need to think again. Instead, he concluded, “We see the current generation of politicians in the United States who have not learned a single lesson from the unacceptable policies that the United States pursued after the collapse of the USSR.”
