Russia unsurprised by Trump's threats to impose duties on Russian oil
The minister stated that even during Trump's first term, Russia "noted and re-membered" the distinct patterns of US behavior when desired results were not quickly achieved.
Russia is not shocked by US President Donald Trump's threats to impose sec-ondary tariffs on its oil, as similar actions have been seen previously, but Moscow will stay steadfast and patient in articulating its stance, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov stated.
"As a matter of fact, we were not surprised, this has occurred before," he told The International Affairs Journal.
"The only way to address this situation is to remain steadfast, patient, and ex-plain the core of the approach in a logical, comprehensible, and coherent manner. Of course, in line with what is happening, as they say, on the ground."
Ryabkov stated that even during Trump's first term, Russia "noted and remem-bered" the distinct patterns of US behavior when desired results were not quickly achieved. "In the absence of immediate results, Washington would completely alter its rhetoric, and soon after, practical actions would contradict the initial stance," he said.
