According to sources in the US, German and EU governments, last month, Donald Trump met with Angela Merkel and insisted that Berlin should stop supporting the Nord Stream 2 project. In return, the USA was ready to invite the EU to discuss new trade arrangements that would help avoid a “transatlantic trade war”.
We should remind you that Nord Stream 2 is a project for a gas pipeline running from Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea with a length of 1220 km and a capacity of 55 billion cubic meters per year.
