Foreign Minister Heiko Maas' reaction is being celebrated online.
—
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) has rejected US President Donald Trump's renewed harsh criticism of the planned Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. "Germany is not dependent on Russia, especially not in energy matters," Maas told reporters on Wednesday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly debate in New York . He said Trump's accusation "does not correspond to reality."
Maas now said that the federal government will "not tire" of countering this criticism with "real facts." He added that the pipeline is "not a political project," but primarily an economic one.
Fast forward to 2024:
Commenting on his new role at the DPI, Maas said: ‘Germany's relations with Poland are a cornerstone of peace and cooperation in Europe. I am therefore particularly happy about my election as President of the German Poland Institute, because in my new role I want to work to further develop these relations on an equal footing.’
