This was stated by the representative of the German Foreign Ministry Andrea Sasse.
“We took note of the statement made by Secretary of State Blinken at the end of last week.
As for our position on the project, then ... our position remains unchanged, "RIA Novosti quotes her.
In an interview with CNN, Blinken said that the United States will continue to increase sanctions against the pipeline because it considers its construction to be a bad idea.
In turn, the Minister of Energy and Economy of the Federal Republic of Germany Peter Altmeier said that he considers it wrong to constantly raise new questions about Nord Stream 2.
According to German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, "the main priority is to create conditions for the completion of the construction of this pipeline."
