Moscow will draw conclusions on the entire range of relations with the US following Washington’s new sanctions, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters on Wednesday, TASS reports.
"The United States has long been pursuing a hostile policy towards our country. A response will certainly follow, not only in terms of reciprocation, but we will also draw additional conclusions on the entire range of Russia-US relations," he pointed out.
"We will take it all into account in specific situations, particularly when building business ties with the US, who has proved to be an unreliable partner, and we will also take into consideration on a larger scale," the Russian top diplomat noted.
According to Lavrov, the vast majority of Russian and US businessmen aren’t happy with the current situation as they "do want the trend to stop." The Russian foreign minister also said that the United States’ actions were based on "a strategy" aimed at weakening Washington’s rivals on the global markets, "blatantly violating the rules of the World Trade Organization."
