America's top diplomat Mike Pompeo on Tuesday
accused Russia of continuing to "threaten Mediterranean stability"
and sowing "chaos, conflict and division" in countries around the
region.
In a statement on "Russian Influence in the
Mediterranean," the outgoing Secretary of State responded to his Russian
counterpart Sergei Lavrov, who he said "accused the United States of
playing political games" in the region.
Lavrov "again gets the facts wrong and attempts
to rewrite history," Pompeo said, denouncing Moscow's actions in Libya,
Greece and Syria.
His statement came the same day that Russian
President Vladimir Putin finally congratulated US President-elect Joe Biden on
his victory over Donald Trump in the November presidential election.
