WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. State Department said on Tuesday the current diplomatic row between Russia and the United States should not be escalated.

The Secretary of State Rex Tillerson "believes that no further escalatory action is necessary at his point and we look forward to trying to forge ahead," State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said at a news briefing.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on on Aug. 31 ordered Russia to close three diplomatic facilities in the United States as the diplomatic spat between Washington and Moscow continued to escalate.

The tit-for-tat action came after Russian President Vladimir Putin in July ordered the United States to reduce the number of diplomatic personnel in Russia by 755, in response to U.S. sanctions on Russia over its alleged intervention in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

The diplomatic row also came at a low point of bilateral relationship between Washington and Moscow Brock Nelson Islanders Jersey , as the two sides hold differences on a range of issues, including the war in Syria and the conflict in Ukraine.

However, Putin's move was not the origin of this round of diplomatic row between Russian and the United States and rather a delayed response to former U.S. President Barack Obama's expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats and seizure of two Russian diplomatic facilities last year out of alleged Russian meddling in the U.S. election.

BERLIN, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- Interview: Philipp Lahm, captain of FC Bayern Munich

By Oliver Trust

"Real last year was just a defeat"

Xinhua: Let' s start with the hard stuff to come?

Lahm: (laughing) "You don' t want to talk about Real, Chelsea Cal Clutterbuck Islanders Jersey , Barcelona and the other top Champions League teams?"

Xinhua: How do you know?

Lahm: "Everybody around us seems to be only talking about Real. But we play Schachtjor Donezk next Tuesday, right?"

Xinhua: Right. But after the semifinal of last year' s campaign, people are thinking about what Bayern is up to change things regarding Real. So what is the team' s aim this year - some are saying only the Champions League and Real are what really counts?

Lahm: (laughing) "I see a lot of other teams that will be a hard nut to crack. Bayern' s aim is always to win every possible title. That' s the clause you agree to when signing for the club. And the German title might be the most honest as it' s a season-long race. But right after that - we are looking to win the Champions League."

Xinhua: Frustration has been mountain high after the defeat in Champions League semifinal against Real Madrid last April. Some even say to win the Champions League in 20142015 is something that will ultimately decide the future of Pep Guardiola as Bayern' s coach - he too was extremely frustrated being beaten by Real 0-5 on aggregate.

Lahm: "You' re talking about Real again?"

Xinhua: How about Chelsea and Jose Mourinho this time?

Lahm: "Nice topic as well, but let me say something about the Real game. People on the outside may get the impression that Bayern is strong enough to win the Champions League. But thinking that means they have forgotten Josh Bailey Islanders Jersey , it' s quite normal that every team loses every now and again. We try to see the defeat as unemotionally as possible - therefore it was just a defeat."

Xinhua: Does that mean having positive feelings to get over a defeat?

Lahm: "Not at all, nobody is happy about that. But let' s take a look at the facts: We managed to be successful after we won the treble even though many expected us to be less successful. Look at the post World Cup period. Many predicted the team' s performance would decline due to the energy sapping World Cup with seven Bayern players winning the title. On top of everything I' d just like to say, the team has developed in these periods, meaning we have improved. It is an out and out positive thing to be aware Jordan Eberle Islanders Jersey , you can pick up speed again soon after crossing the finishing line first. If you lose something like .
