US Selling Arms to Europe without Thinking of European Security

She said US President Donald Trump is in no small measure a business person, TASS reported.

"Well, a businessman, selling everything," she noted, adding that "As for supplies of weapons and global security, the US is far away. This is the European continent, and American-made weapons are supplied with the money of Europeans."

"America makes profit and money, and what to Europeans get? Weapons? What for?," Zakharova asked.

"On the one hand, weapons are supplied, and on the other - parties are constantly set against each other, in particular European countries," the diplomat stressed, underlining that "What can it lead to? History has different answers to this question."
