| Subject: The Command Economy Continues: U.S. warns German companies of possible sanctions over Russian pipeline Sun Jan 13, 2019 9:39 pm | |
| ‘UNACCEPTABLE THREATS’ Juergen Hardt, foreign policy spokesman for Merkel’s conservatives in parliament, was scathing in his criticism of the U.S. move. “That the U.S. ambassador is now turning to German companies with direct threats is a new and unacceptable one-sided tightening of the tone in the transatlantic relationship,” Hardt said. “If the U.S. president thinks he has to publicly show he is getting tough on Russia in view of the many question marks regarding his relationship with Moscow, he should not thereby impair the relationship with his most important ally.”
