The new administration and the German government want to reestablish the close ties that existed in the pre-Trump era. If only the construction of this gas pipeline to Russia wasn’t happening.
Maybe it’s a coincidence. Maybe it isn’t. Shortly before President Joe Biden paid a virtual visit to Germany this past Friday to participate in the Munich Security Conference’s digital short version alongside Chancellor Angela Merkel, he received a letter. Two senators urged “dear President Biden” to retain a policy that was in effect during Donald Trump’s presidency. “The U.S. relationship with Germany is a cornerstone of the transatlantic alliance,” they emphasized. “But allowing the completion of Nord Stream II is not a constructive path forward for this partnership.” The most interesting aspect of this letter is who signed it. One of the undersigned is Jim Risch; the other is Jeanne Shaheen. Risch is a Republican, Shaheen is a Democrat.
