PM doubts U.S. ability to regain leading positions
RBC, 09.10.2008, Moscow 17:10:49. – Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin believes that the United States will not be able to regain its leading position in the world economy after the crisis, he said during a meeting with deputies of the Communist Party faction in the State Duma. Putin agreed with faction leader Gennady Zyuganov's statement that the United States had lost its leading position and the U.S. crisis would continue. Confidence in the U.S. as the leader of the free world, as well as in Wall Street, has been undermined forever, the Russian PM said. He added that it was not only his personal opinion, as European leaders, heads of central banks, finance ministers, and experts spoke about it as well, be it disguised or blatant.
