Trump Predicted Germany’s Total Dependence on Energy Supplies from the Russian Federation

U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Germany risked becoming completely dependent on Russia if it does not change course. “Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course”, the American leader said on Tuesday, September 25, at the UN General Assembly, reports Interfax. Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline is being constructed from the Russian coast to Germany along the Baltic Sea bottom. It must ensure reliable gas supplies to the EU. Most European countries support the project. The laying of the pipeline has already begun in Finland and Germany. The U.S., the Baltic States, Poland and Ukraine are against it. U.S. discontent is conditioned by the desire to sell its liquefied natural gas to Europe. Meanwhile, Germany is skeptical of the U.S. attempts to obstruct the gas pipeline construction. On September 23, BDI President Dieter Kempf stated that European countries and companies should have their own energy policy. Source: iz.ru
