MINSK, April 3. /TASS/. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stated that US policy is based on prioritizing oil over human rights, but the republic takes a different approach.

"Look at Trump, at America. This is why I approve - I say this jokingly - of his policies: he's exposed them to the extreme. He's shown: 'What human rights? What democracy? Oil!' And they'll kill for this, they'll throw missiles at us, they'll do anything. Americans would die so that they and others there can live normally, or even well, and earn billions," the BelTA news agency quotes him as saying.

Lukashenko emphasized that the republic adheres to a different approach. "This is not our policy, we cannot build policy like that. But we've seen the true face of these people who once wanted the same for us," the Belarusian leader emphasized.
