Maas announced negotiations with the United States on sanctions against "Nord Stream 2"

According to TASS, Maas said this at a press conference following talks with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.

“We do not believe that such sanctions, which are extraterritorial in nature, are in accordance with international law.

And I communicated this directly to my colleague Michael Pompeo ... We are in contact with the administration in Washington on this issue, ”said the head of the German Foreign Ministry.

Earlier, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that possible new US sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline contradict notions of law.
