It was dangerous. It was reckless. It was irresponsible. And we will and have been consulting with our allies and partners around the world to make clear to the Russian Federation and anyone else who would consider such a dangerous operation that this won`t be tolerated.
Ned Price, the State Department spokesperson, criticized Russia's actions as dangerous and irresponsible, emphasizing the need for international consultation and response.

It is never in our interest to see Russian aircraft and American aircraft coming to such close contact. We want to make clear as we did today, as we did yesterday, that this kind of activity should cease.
The type of propaganda, the type of bluster that we're hearing, from the Kremlin, is deeply irresponsible.
We want to send a single, unambiguously clear message to the Russian Federation that this is unacceptable. This is something that we take very seriously.
We have communicated very clearly to Beijing, that we won`t stand by if -- we will not allow any country to compensate Russia for its losses.
