The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry believes that Donald Trump’s words should not be taken literally.
Sergei Lavrov believes that the US presidential candidate used the statement about the attack on Moscow exclusively as part of the election campaign.
The minister spoke on this topic in a conversation with journalist Pavel Zarubin, who published the diplomat’s comment on his Telegram channel.
Lavrov explained that Trump and Kamala Harris are now actively fighting for American votes.
Politicians are looking for talking points that can grab the attention of their audience.
Trump decided that the statement about a “strike on the center of Moscow” would have the desired effect on a certain category of US citizens.
This is the true meaning of Trump's statements, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes.
At the same time, the Russian diplomat emphasized that he does not want to interfere in any way with the American election campaign.
The US presidential election is less than two weeks away, with the main voting day scheduled for November 5.
The latest data shows that Trump and Harris are virtually neck and neck, but the former US president has managed to take the lead in the so-called swing states.
