Relations between Germany and the U.S. could further deteriorate amid Washington’s plans to extend sanctions against the pipeline “Nord stream-2”. This opinion was expressed by the Chairman of the Federation Council Commission on information policy Alexei Pushkov.
According to him, the promise of Berlin to introduce punitive duty on natural gas from the United States, if they do not desist from pressure on the “Nord stream-2, is not sanctions, but a retaliatory measure. “Does the American scythe, it seems, is still found in the German stone”, – wrote Pushkov in his Twitter.
Recall, Germany has promised to tax the supply of liquefied gas from the US special penalty fees in the case of Washington announced the imposition of sanctions against the pipeline. According to the head of the Bundestag Committee on energy Klaus Ernst, the behavior of the US in this matter should no longer be understood as a friendly act, it is an attack on the sovereignty of Germany and the EU.
the Promise of Berlin to introduce punitive duty on natural gas from the United States, if they will not give up the pressure on North.flow-2, this is not sanctions, but a retaliatory measure. Probably an even greater deterioration of relations between trump and Merkel. Does the American scythe, it seems, is still found in the German stone.
