MOSCOW, February 4. /TASS/. The transition of the United States with the arrival of President Donald Trump to the concept of "America First" carries an alarming consonance with Hitler's slogan "Germany above all", according to the article by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in the magazine "Russia in Global Politics".

According to the minister, the bet on "establishing peace by force" can finally bury diplomacy. In such statements, "there is no shadow" of respect for the obligations of the United States to the UN Charter.

According to Lavrov, with the return to power in the United States of the Republican administration led by Trump, Washington's understanding of international processes after World War II has acquired a new dimension. He pointed to the statements of the new Secretary of State Mark Rubio in the Senate. "Their meaning: the post-war world order was not just outdated, but was turned into a weapon used against the interests of the United States," Lavrov reminded, noting that the United States is now unpleasant and "the rules-based order", which "embodied the selfishness of the West in the post-Cold War era."
