Lavrov accuses Trump's 'America First' of echoing Nazi rhetoric

Many pieces of information provided by Russian media or government representatives are elements of propaganda. Such reports are part of the information war conducted by the Russian Federation.

Lavrov expressed concern that the "America First" concept bears disturbing similarities to Nazi slogans.

"The transition to the concept of 'United States first' has an eerie resonance with the Hitler-era slogan 'Germany first,' and the reliance on 'peace through strength' could finally bury diplomacy," Lavrov stated in the article. According to him, such an approach does not show respect for the international legal obligations of the USA under the United Nations Charter.

The head of Russian diplomacy stated that demographic, economic, social, and geopolitical changes are irreversible, making a return to the old world order impossible. Lavrov claimed that multipolarity is strengthening worldwide.

The politician suggested that rather than resisting this shift, the United States could be a responsible centre of power alongside Russia, China, and other influential nations across the global South, East, North, and West.

Lavrov added that the new American administration will test the boundaries with 'cowboy attacks' on the UN-based system concerning American interests.

However, he emphasized, the Trump administration will soon realise that international reality is much richer than the worldviews that can be presented without consequence in speeches directed at the American public and compliant geopolitical allies.

Lavrov stated that Russia will continue collaborating with like-minded partners to adjust interstate relations to the realities of a multipolar world. He emphasized that this process aligns with the international legal framework established by the Yalta-Potsdam system and is reflected in the United Nations Charter.
