Principle «trust, but verify» does not work against US. This was stated by the press service of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the United States.
During the historic signing of a Treaty eliminating nuclear weapons in the US and the USSR, the American President ronald reagan said that the Soviet Union is guided by the principle: «Trust, but verify».
This famous Russian saying, which from that moment is often mentioned in the media, used in his last message to the Russian Embassy. The Ministry noted that this principle «the best years», and now the United States had completely lost the trust of Russia.
«And in the best years the American side was guided by the principle of «trust but verify» (President Ronald Reagan, in particular). Now is the time to first verify and then trust» – said the Embassy in a statement.
In General, Russia is outraged that the United States would violate the immunity of departmenet of the Russian Federation and do not let the Ambassador Anatoly Antonov the U.S. Consulate General in san francisco without any explanation.
The US Ambassador refusal of access is justified – from 1 September, the US closed its Russian office in San Francisco. The assistant Secretary of state for diplomatic security Michael Evanoff assured the office that they have no reason for concern.
