With such an offer, the FRG plans to appeal to the American leadership, officials from the government. The request about it the head of the Ministry of Finance of Germany Olaf Scholz should state during a visit to Washington. Exemption from sanctions will affect not specific companies, but the whole German business, says The Wall Street Journal. The same issue wants to discuss and German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a meeting with US President Donald Trump, scheduled for late April. The reason for such steps is simple: according to sources, large companies press on the German government.
Their business is conducted in Russia, and they are not going to lose revenue because of the deterioration of relations between Moscow and Washington. After all, their losses from suspension of cooperation with Russian business can amount to hundreds of millions of euros. Earlier in the US they announced when they would impose new sanctions against Russia. This will happen if "Moscow really deserves it," said US President Donald Trump, recalls the TV channel "360".
