Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has accused the United States of openly prioritising oil and energy dominance in its foreign policy, alleging that Washington’s military actions in countries such as Iran and Venezuela are driven by resource interests.
In an interview with Russian state television, Lavrov said the US “cares only about its own well-being” and is prepared to defend it by “any means – coups, kidnappings or assassinations of leaders of countries that possess natural resources”.
