[HIGHLIGHTS] The deputy head of the US Treasury said that the country's economy can withstand its sanctions

Deputy Secretary of the US Treasury Wally Adeyemo said the US economy is strong enough to withstand the consequences of its own sanctions. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov previously said that Western countries began to use the dollar as a weapon to solve political problems.

Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin announced the loss of economic leadership by the United States. The politician added that the US financial system and the dollar will continue to dominate in terms of stability, and restrictions will be applied on a multilateral basis.
