Germany evaluated statements about Nord Stream 2 and threat to NATO

“The federal government does not share the view that German policy towards Nord Stream 2 threatens NATO,” the document says.

As the agency clarifies, in this way the government commented on the words of US Senator Tom Catton, who considers Germany’s gas pipeline policy a threat to the alliance.

They also did not agree with the opinion that the American side is more aggressive towards the "European peoples."

The Cabinet noted that the United States remains "the most important partner outside Europe in security policy."

Earlier, Nord Stream 2 AG stated that they did not agree with the preliminary decision of the German regulator to refuse to exempt the project from the rules of the EU Gas Directive.
