“Secretary of State Pompeo and Foreign Minister Maas also discussed US-German coordination on a number of global issues and the US’s strong opposition to the continuation of the construction of Nord Stream 2,” the US Foreign Ministry said.

The German government then called it incomprehensible the threat of sanctions imposed by Washington against the gas pipeline due to trilateral negotiations between Russia, the EU and Ukraine on gas in Berlin.
