Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused the Trump administration of attempting to “usurp” influence over the global energy market, Al Jazeera reports.
The US objective is to force Russian energy firms such as Lukoil and Rosneft out of international markets as part of a broader strategy to control global energy flows, Lavrov says in an interview with broadcaster RT India.
“The United States has adopted a series of doctrinal documents, one of which proclaims that the US must dominate global energy markets,” he adds. “So their goal is entirely clear: they want to bring every significant energy supply route under their control.”
