PUTIN SAYS US MAKING CONTINUAL MISTAKES IN ECONOMIC POLICY

ST. PETERSBURG, June 6 (Bernama-Xinhua) — Russian President Vladimir Putin criticised the US administration on Wednesday, stating it is making a series of economic policy blunders, reported Xinhua.

“And in the field of foreign policy, in domestic policy, but also in economic policy, I think that today’s US administration is making one mistake after another,” Putin said at a meeting with representatives of world news agencies on the sidelines of the 27th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

He described the Swift ban against Russian banks on the use of the US dollar in international payments as one of the big mistakes of the US government.

The desire of Washington to be a leader of global liberalism is destroying the country from within, Putin said.

“I think you will agree with me that no one is interested in Ukraine in the United States, they are interested in the greatness of the United States, which is fighting not for Ukraine and not for the Ukrainian people, but for its greatness and its leadership,” the Russian president added.

Regarding the upcoming US presidential election, Putin stated that the outcome is largely irrelevant for Russia, as US-Russia relations are unlikely to see significant changes. Russia will work with any duly elected US president, he emphasised.
