MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 01st June, 2021) A high-ranking German delegation has left for the United States this week to discuss the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project, Bloomberg reported citing the Funke media group.
According to Funke's sources in the US and German government circles, a team of negotiators from German Chancellor Angela Merkel departed for Washington.
The German delegation is led by Merkel's foreign policy adviser Jan Hecker and her economic adviser Lars-Hendrik Roeller.
The delegates will meet with US Trade Representative Katherine Tai and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
US President Joe Biden a few days earlier said US sanctions against Nord Stream 2 AG will be counterproductive for European relations, adding that the project is almost done.
