US demands to stop the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project are unacceptable. About it TASS said Bundestag deputy from the Left Party, representative of the Foreign Policy Committee Sevim Dagdelen. The party holds 39 out of 736 seats in the German parliament.
“It is absurd and daring that the US government is constantly demanding that the Nord Stream 2 project be curtailed, while at the same time increasing the volume of oil imports from Russia,” the deputy said.
According to her, US President Joe Biden’s ultimatum demands to stop Nord Stream 2 speak of disrespect for “German democratic sovereignty.” “Biden probably sees European partners as just satellite countries that he wants to use as a market for unsustainable fracking gas,” Dagdelen said.
