US EditionMerz Says Germany Will 'Do Everything' To Prevent Nord Stream Restart
- German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on May 2025 that Germany will 'do everything' to block reactivation of the Nord Stream gas pipelines connecting Russia to Germany.
- This stance follows reports of secret talks between Russian and U.S. Business figures seeking to restart the pipelines amid EU plans for new sanctions targeting Nord Stream 2 AG.
- Merz consulted with the head of the European Commission to ensure that sanctions targeting Nord Stream would be included in the EU's 18th package designed to cut off Russia's funding for its war.
- Before the pipelines were damaged in 2022 explosions, they carried 55 billion cubic meters of Russian gas annually, with nearly half of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern residents favoring resuming supplies despite opposition.
- The EU sanctions aim to Europeanize pipeline decisions to shield Germany from bilateral pressure and reinforce energy security amid ongoing geopolitical tensions over Russian gas imports.
