“Unfortunately, the Americans have lost their talent for diplomacy.
They have always had excellent experts.
Now what they are doing in foreign policy is making a demand (whether it is about Iran or something else).
And if their partners say that they cannot do that and ask to discuss the issue raised, they do not agree, ”Lavrov said in an interview with the New York bureau of Al Arabiya TV channel.
According to him, the American side issues an ultimatum, sets deadlines and introduces sanctions, and then makes these sanctions extraterritorial.
“I can say that it is absolutely illegal to impose unilateral sanctions that have not been approved by the UN,” the minister said.
Earlier, Lavrov said that the Russian side is ready to work with any US government that will be formed following the elections.
