Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov accused the United States of trying to exclude Russia from the global energy market and expressed concern over U.S. sanctions against Russia. He hopes to understand the true intentions behind the so-called "mutually beneficial" cooperation with the U.S., believing that the U.S. actions are contrary to the goal of resolving the Ukraine issue.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated on the 18th that the United States is attempting to exclude Russia from the global energy market, and Russia hopes to understand what “mutually beneficial” means in the mind of the Trump administration. According to the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website, Lavrov said in an interview with Arab satellite TV that a few weeks after last year’s Russia-U.S. summit in Alaska, the U.S. unexpectedly announced sanctions against Russia’s two major oil companies and then asked India to stop purchasing Russian oil. If the U.S. genuinely hopes to work with Russia to resolve the Ukraine issue and initiate mutually beneficial cooperation, their current actions are contradictory—“They (the U.S.) are trying to push us out of the global energy market.” (Xinhua)
