Trump made the comments at a NATO summit in Brussels on Wednesday, telling Germany it was wrong to support an $11-billion Baltic Sea pipeline to import even more Russian gas while being slow to meet targets for NATO spending.
“As for Germany’s dependence (on Russia) as a major gas buyer we cannot agree with this premise,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call when asked about Trump’s comments.
“ ...Supplies of pipeline gas do not lead to dependence of one country on another but to complete mutual dependence. That is a guarantee of stability and future development.”
