Lavrov: Russia will remain an adversary for the US, no matter who becomes president  - 1

The United States will perceive Russia, if not as an enemy, then as an adversary, regardless of the results of its presidential election. This is what Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with aif.ru.

„Regardless of the outcome of the election, we will remain, if not an enemy, then certainly an adversary of the United States. In any case, a competitor“, he said.

The presidential election in the United States will be held on November 5. It was assumed that the Democratic Party would be represented by the current President Joe Biden. However, after a disastrous performance in the June televised debate with Donald Trump, who later became the nominee of the Republican Party, Biden, under pressure from party members, was forced to leave the race. He endorsed the nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris, who was confirmed as the Democratic presidential nominee in August.
