The US position on the construction of North Stream 2 gas pipeline is aimed at promoting American LNG natural gas in the European market, President Vladimir Putin of Russia said at a news conference after talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.




Vladimir Putin has explained that Donald Trump is not just a US president but a strong and good entrepreneur, who is promoting business interests in order to ensure sales of liquefied natural gas in the European market. However, Mr Putin has noted, for Europe, LNG is 30% more expensive than Russian pipe gas.

Russian President has highlighted that during negotiations with Angela Merkel, the issue of construction of Nord Stream 2 was discussed in the context of joint energy projects in general.
