“The Germans have already said that if the Americans impose sanctions against participants in Nord Stream 2, they will receive high duties in return for their liquefied American gas, which is supplied to Europe,” he said.
According to him, the United States "will not be able to break Angel Merkel."
“The Germans have invested tremendous money in the gas pipeline project and have great hopes for it. In addition, they already realized what an unreliable partner Ukraine is, ”the senator added.
Dzhabarov also noted that if the Americans nevertheless impose sanctions, "their relations with Germany will deteriorate greatly."
Earlier in the Ministry of Economy of Germany said that the government is following discussions in the United States on plans to impose sanctions against those participating in the Nord Stream 2 project and rejects extraterritorial sanctions by Washington.
