WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 29th May, 2019) US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will discuss a wide range of topics including Nord Stream 2 and the Ukraine conflict when he meets with German officials during his upcoming trip to Europe, a senior State Department official said on Wednesday.

"We have a new start in Ukraine, with a new president. They go into elections to have a new government, and they will be interested in exchanging information on that. I mentioned Nord Stream 2 and that of course relates broadly to European energy security. Arms control is an issue that is of mutual interest to both of us. ... There's really a whole range of issues there that relate not just to US-German relations but to trans-Atlantic relations more broadly."

Other topics will include burden sharing, trade and the Western Balkans, the official added.
