German Ex-Chancellor Reveals True Reason for US Criticism of Nord Stream 2

Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder lashed out at the US for its position on Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

Former Chancellor of Germany Gerhard Schroeder said Saturday that the US has its own energy interests in Europe, which explains the pressure Washington exerts on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project. However, Berlin must decide on its own, whom it wants to conduct business with, he told Welt am Sonntag.

According to Schroeder, Berlin must not allow Washington determine, whom it can and cannot trade with.
