He noted that despite the "repeatedly confirmed by the President of the United States Donald trump and his key employees the intention to normalize relations with Russia, at the practical level, nothing positive is happening."
“Our American colleagues continue to impose unilateral sanctions, without even bothering to make any arguments, just out of the blue,” Lavrov said.
This, according to the head of the Russian foreign ministry, "is in conflict with the attitude that the US president himself is constantly projecting."
Earlier, US Secretary of Energy Rick Perry said that at the moment, the US side is seriously considering the possibility of imposing sanctions in connection with the implementation of the Nord Stream 2 project.
On August 29, political analyst Pyotr Fedosov, in an interview with Nation News, commented on the positions of Russia and Germany on Nord Stream-2.
