German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said that Berlin will not change its position on the completion of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline due to the change of power in the United States.
He quotes the official's words DW.
"There is no need to talk about European sovereignty if it is understood that in the future we will do everything only the way Washington wants it. The federal government will not change its attitude to Nord Stream 2, said Heiko Maas. Moreover, Maas predicts that the problems that are causing the differences of opinion between Berlin and Washington will remain in the future.
"It is important that we stick to the same line on central strategic and geopolitical issues, we are on the same side," he said.
At the end of last year, the USA imposed sanctions against the gas pipeline, as a result of which the Swiss Allseas was forced to stop the laying. On December 23, 2020, it became known that the USA was preparing new sanctions.
