Russian expert: America's image in the world is fading
Russian Senator Alexei Pushkov expressed his opinion on his Telegram channel that the deterioration of the US economic situation due to the "complete loss of control" over the spread of the Coronavirus confirms the difficulty of predicting when the US will come out of the crisis.

The United States is losing credibility on the world stage.
"The old image of America is still there, but it is fading away," the Russian senator commented.
According to Pushkov, China has put an end to the coronavirus pandemic and is moving towards economic growth. Meanwhile, due to the large number of new Covid-19 cases in the country, the US is "at risk of losing the positive" from a mild economic recovery, as well as increasing the number of unemployed. The senator recalled that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that the expansion of the pandemic would affect the recovery prospects in the United States because of the lack of government funds. All of this could increase the tax burden on citizens who are already unhappy with the situation.
