Russia calls US actions in Asia 'destructive' at ASEAN summit

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday called U.S. actions in Asia "destructive," accusing Washington of being behind a "militarization" of Japan and attempting to turn other countries against Russia and China.
 
"The destructive character of U.S. actions in this part of the world is obvious," Lavrov told reporters at an East Asia Summit in Laos.
