The FRG’s call on Nord Stream 2 could work, RIAC program director Timofeev said
According to the expert, the call could have an effect, given the American political system and German interests. Germany itself is interested in Nord Stream 2 and has long opposed US sanctions.
“The Germans are trying to pre-empt this and clearly, explicitly show their position to Congress that they think this is wrong. The administration is also negative about the new proposals because tougher sanctions reduce the room for manoeuvre”, – he told RIA Novosti.
