Former US President Donald Trump, speaking in Ohio at his first rally after leaving the White House, said that he had imposed sanctions on the Nord Stream-2 pipeline from top to bottom, but the current head of state Joe Biden again allowed the construction of the facility.
“Biden is leading our economy and the country to ruin. Biden canceled the American Keystone XL pipeline and its 48 thousand jobs for American workers, but he approved the Russian pipeline to Europe. I stopped the pipeline to Europe, I imposed sanctions on them from top to bottom, ” Trump said.
Despite this, as Trump noted, he managed to establish relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “This is good. This is not bad, ” he said, adding that he also had a wonderful relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
According to Trump, Germany pays Russia billions of dollars for the pipeline, although the interests of the German side are protected by the United States. “I told Angela (Merkel, the German Chancellor)I like her, I get along well with her, but she is tough, smart and enjoys the USA. I said: Angela, we are protecting you from the country,to which you give billions. How does it work, Angela? She just smiled, ” Trump added.
