Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives: The U.S. is aware of the growing influence of Russia, China and Iran around the world

Sputnik News, Washington, January 20th - On January 20th, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, said in a speech to the British Parliament that the U.S. is aware of the increasing activities and influence of Russia, China and Iran on the global stage.

Johnson said, "We see that China, Russia and Iran are becoming more active and confident, and they are making greater efforts to expand their economic, political and military influence around the world."

He added that although there may be differences among allies on how to respond, it is generally recognized in the West that it is necessary to contain the growing influence of these countries.

Johnson emphasized, "We may have different discussions on how to deal with them, but we all believe that we must contain them, and ignoring these threats is harmful to ourselves."

Russia has repeatedly stated that it does not threaten any party, but rather advocates for equal relations between countries, dialogue, mutual respect, compliance with international law, and non-interference in internal affairs of other countries.
