American minister: US has the right to punish other countries
Answering the question why Washington criticizes Moscow for allegedly using energy as a means of pressure on countries, despite the fact that the United States itself imposes an embargo on the export of Iranian oil, the minister said:
According to him, there are many ways of punishment, and one of them is the energy industry.
Today, Iran’s policy is unacceptable, so Washington sent a very clear signal to the government of this country: if you don’t become a responsible member of the world community, “there will be sanctions, there will be consequences,” Perry said.
Recall, the US authorities have repeatedly accused Moscow of using energy supplies to Europe as an instrument of pressure on third countries. Perry himself spoke about this on Thursday at a meeting with his Russian counterpart Alexander Novak.
In turn, Russia always emphasizes that the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline, which Americans are so actively opposed to building, is not a political, but a purely commercial project.
