Lavrov commented on the US transition to the "America First" concept

The "America First" concept of US President Donald Trump 's administration is reminiscent of the Nazi slogan "Germany First". This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on February 4.

He noted that the US policy under Trump's leadership reinterprets the consequences of World War II in a new way.

"The name of the concept "America First and Foremost" bears a disturbing consonance with the slogan of Hitler's period "Germany Above All", and the bet on "establishing peace through force" can finally bury diplomacy," the magazine "Russia in Global Politics" quotes him as saying.

Lavrov noted that these statements lack respect for Washington's international obligations enshrined in the UN Charter,Gazeta.Ruadded. He agreed with the view that the US will no longer be able to return to its previous state due to irreversible changes in the demographic, economic, social and geopolitical spheres.
