“The American political elite, in my opinion, is seized by megalomania. Senators greatly exceed their responsibilities and functions, considering themselves entitled to allow such letters, which can be regarded as rude and shameless threats. Of course, there will be people in Germany who will take such threats with great fear, but I am sure that most of the German society will reject such attacks from the United States, ”the senator said.
Tsekov is confident that "the pressure of the United States will not achieve the set goal" and "Nord Stream 2" will be completed and put into operation, and Germany and other EU countries "will receive serious benefits from this."
Earlier, the newspaper Handelsblatt reported, referring to the document, that US senators wrote a letter to the operator of the German port of Sassnitz, which called for an end to work to support the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
The letter was written by Senators Ted Cruise, Tom Cotton and Ron Johnson.
