German Chancellor Angela Merkel appreciated the effect of new economic sanctions directed against Russia. She told about it at a press conference after the meeting with the US President Donald Tramp. "We are working very closely with representatives of the US administration to exchange views on what kind of action they (sanctions) can have," the Chancellor of the RIA Novosti quotes.. Merkel noted that the position of Washington and Berlin in relation to Moscow is similar. At the same time she stressed that Russia is aggressively behaving in Syria. New economic sanctions can return to the Germans a boomerang.

According to Matthias Shepp, Chairman of the Board of the ITP, Germany will lose hundreds of millions of euros because of Washington's support. Despite such risks, Merkel intends to continue pressure on Russia to "get Moscow out of the blue," the "360". Earlier media reported that during a visit to Washington, Merkel would ask Trump to make an exception to the US sanctions against Russia for several German companies that suffer because of them, recalls the "National News Service".
