BERLIN – Germany is not making itself more dependent on Russia by agreeing to the new Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline running under the Baltic Sea, a senior German government official said on Thursday.
"Our analysis is ... that does not make us more dependent on Russia," he said before Chancellor Angela Merkel meets US President Donald Trump in Washington on Friday.
"Russia is a very reliable supplier."
