Lavrov Targets U.S. in Fiery Speech to Muslim Nations, Signals Anti-West Alliance Vision

In a sweeping and defiant address to representatives of the Islamic world, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov launches a scathing attack on U.S. foreign policy, denounces Western sanctions as economic coercion, and calls for a multipolar global order built on sovereignty, mutual respect, and cultural tradition. The speech, delivered ahead of the upcoming KazanForum and under the auspices of Russia’s growing engagement with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), is seen by many as a direct message to the United States and President Donald Trump.
