Germany advocated the lifting of anti-Russian sanctions. This was stated by the co-chair of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) faction and member of the Bundestag Alice Weidel, who noted the importance of completing the Nord Stream 2 project. RIA Novosti reports her words.
“Germany has its own energy interests. It is important that our country, if possible, does not become dependent on a small number of energy suppliers. Therefore, the completion of the Nord Stream 2 project is necessary. The fact that the United States also has its own interests is understandable At the same time, the sanctions policy always hurts both sides, “the politician said.
Earlier it was reported that US President Joe Biden found himself “between a rock and a hard place” because of the situation with the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline. Sources in the administration of the head of the White House said that the US government, on the one hand, would like to stop the construction of Nord Stream 2, which Biden considers a “bad deal” for Europe. On the other hand, the president and his team want to strengthen the US relationship with Germany, which is in favor of completing the project.
