Dmitriev commented on Merz's words about the end of the Pax Americana era for EU countries.

The policy of US President Donald Trump contributes to the preservation of Western civilization. This was announced on December 13 by Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and Special Representative of the President of Russia for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries.

"Trump is saving Western civilization with his policies," he said.

According to Dmitriev, Trump's policy is aimed at countering the excessive influence of the liberal Western establishment and protecting traditional Western values.

"Sad Merz is attacking the United States... The team of billionaire [former US President Joe] Biden ruthlessly promoted their interests: they installed obedient European elites, promoted an extremely liberal, pro-immigration policy," he added on his social network page.

The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund said that Trump's policy is aimed at countering the excessive influence of the liberal Western establishment and protecting traditional Western values.
