How does Germany propose to get oil and natural gas from Russia after that?
Didn't President warn Germany about being over dependent on Russia only for the Germans to arrogantly fob of President Trump?

Germany hasn’t nationalized the oil industry in, oh, say 90 years or so. Of course, they called it “privatization”, putting it in the hands of the party faithful.
