High winds and school temperatures could lead to even more devastation. Im having a home for a glad you could join me germany has objected strongly to new u. S. Sanctions sanctions against the north stream to gas pipeline from russia to germany the sanctions target Companies Involved in the construction of the pipeline which runs on the baltic sea now washington says that nord stream too will give russia too much power over europe and its offering its own gas as an alternative. The gas pipeline has just 300 kilometers to go this signature aims to stop it dead in the water the new u. S. Law imposes sanctions against companies building the pipeline washington says north stream 2 will make germany too dependent on Russian Energy none of your business says german vice chancellor scholtz. So all these sanctions constitute serious interference in the internal affairs of germany and europe and of our own sovereignty we have ject to them in the strongest terms moreover this behavior is entirely in comprehensible and is not at all appropriate between friends and nato allies. The sanctions target Companies Like swiss based all sees it operate ships that lay pipelines at sea but because the sanctions could threaten business the company does in the United States its announced its suspending work on north stream too many german politicians are outraged by the american measures deal with the u. S. Just wants more markets for their fracking gas and they want to force europeans to buy environment damaging fracking again to call for but the government in berlin says it wont retaliate but im hundreds we do not want to trade in warm weather on this issue or any other we believe that political differences should be resolved politically and shouldnt contribute to making a trade conflicts worse on this conflict. The Consortium Building north stream too says construction will continue but finishing the pipeline may now take longer and cost more lives their advice scholz will miss gladys in the catechist and joins me now in the studio to talk through all of this good to see me here so the construction of new its ground to a halt for the time being do these sanctions mean that project is off the table to get. And very unlikely that u. S. Sanctions will stop this project from going to high heads overall because its more us to teach it than it is the technical question at the moment is a Swiss Company that a thing to be afraid to. To continue any work because of the threat of sanctions and they have specialty ships of that technology you cant replace but what you also cant easily replace is that Strategic Alliance between germany and russia on this particular point of Energy Security of Energy Supplies this is a project thats also been hotly debated within the European Union and the United States simply wants to kill it its unlikely it will do so because its also a matter of principle even for the opponents that imposing sanctions is simply against International Law and how International Business is currently done were talking about matter of principles critics say that these sanctions arent so much about protecting europe from russian influence for example when it comes to the u. S. President instead he wants to make sure that more american deaths is sold to europe how much weight would you give to those claims while. Its absolutely clear that the United States wants to sell liquid nitrogen gas and what germany has tried to do and its getting a lot of criticism from the opposition for right now is to reassure the americans that it would buy a liquid nitrogen nitrogen gas by saying that it will build those terminals and at the same time following that strategy of ensuring gas supply security with russia and the United States is the country upon which simply European Security German Security depends on and were actually seeing that issue of security security being mixed up with the overall strategic question of if youre not with us on the issue you clearly are against this so i think this is only the beginning of no longest standoff potentially more hostile policy not just to this project to follow and on that point i mean it seems that weve now got another issue between germany and the u. S. On the table you know adding to trade for example adding to naysay payments how damaging potentially could this north stream to raul be to. What already is a strained relationship what we heard it from the vice chancellor in that sound bite at the very beginning its seen as a rather damaging as an interference criticism is unlikely to get much stronger on the rest of record but off the record were clearly seeing damage done to the Underlying Trust between germany and the United States but also europe and the us and a departure from any kind of reliability on that strategically important partner across the transatlantic with a strategic interest stretching so much into economics and how the e. U. How germany turns out its and security in the future chief political as thanks so much for your analysis.
