Russian Foreign Minister: The US is trying to squeeze Russia out of the global energy market.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said on the 18th that the United States is trying to squeeze Russia out of the global energy market, and Russia hopes to understand what "mutually beneficial" means in the eyes of the Trump administration. According to the Russian Foreign Ministry website, Lavrov said in an interview with an Arab satellite TV station on that day, that a few weeks after last year's Russia-US summit in Alaska, the US unexpectedly announced sanctions on two major Russian oil companies, and then requested that India stop buying Russian oil. If the United States sincerely wants to work together with Russia to solve the Ukraine issue and start mutually beneficial cooperation, then their current actions contradict this - "they are trying to squeeze us out of the global energy market." Lavrov pointed out that Russia is willing to discuss all related issues within the framework of the bilateral economic working group between Russia and the United States, and hopes to understand what the so-called "mutually beneficial" means for the Trump administration.
