She answered the question of what Russia expects from the new US administration.
“Adequate interaction and mutually beneficial cooperation.
This means that there are no politically artificial barriers to the development of natural areas of cooperation, ”she said.
Zakharova also cited as an example that the United States artificially introduced a system with long terms for issuing visas in Russia.
In addition, she noted that in order to "trade profitably, there is no need to impose sanctions."
“There are moments of competition - let's negotiate.
You yourself, the United States, brought the whole world out into the era of globalization and talked about the fact that there is the WTO, there are common rules, and now everyone will play in a single space according to common rules ... And when everyone came there and began to interact, they (USA - RT) didn't like it.
Because they are "exceptional," Zakharova said.
She also believes that in the coming months there will be no sharp improvement in relations between Russia and the United States.
“Talking about such an improvement is not sharp, but gradual - I’m not sure that in the coming months we will observe this,” Zakharova answered the relevant question.
Earlier, Zakharova said during a briefing that the maneuvers of the United States in the Black Sea threaten peace and stability.
