“The position of the government is known - it rejects any form of extraterritorial sanctions for reasons of principle,” RIA Novosti quoted the German Foreign Ministry as saying.
The Foreign Ministry also noted that the German government is in contact with the American side on important bilateral and international issues.
Earlier, Senator, member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Chris Koons, assessed the possibility of the United States introducing new sanctions against SP-2.
On February 4, the Handelsblatt newspaper, citing diplomatic circles in Washington, said the United States intended to impose new sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project.
The material notes that if Russia "tries to complete the construction of the remaining kilometers of the pipeline in the Baltic Sea, the House of Representatives and the Senate are ready to adopt another law on sanctions."
