Putin: US Economic Policies Amount to 'Hooliganism' | Europe | English
Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin addresses the parliament in Moscow, April 20, 2011
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin says U.S. economic policies amount to "hooliganism."

Putin, in his annual address to the Russian parliament, said Wednesday that "everything is not so good for our friends in the States." He told the lawmakers to look at the U.S. trade balance in which the country imports more products than it exports, its growing long-term debt, and annual budget deficits.

He said Russia does not "have the luxury for such hooliganism." Putin said Russia has none of that and he hopes the country never will.
