PoliticsLavrov says Russia sees US as rival at best and expects no miracles

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow expects no miracles from Washington and views the United States as, at best, a rival that is unprepared for fair competition. He criticized US tariffs for damaging the global trading system and said a law gives the US president authority to impose 100% tariffs on Russian goods and 500% tariffs on goods from major buyers of Russian oil and gas.
