A blow to Russia: Merkel went to deal with Trump

German Chancellor Angela Merkel made concessions to President Trump and promised to support at the government level the project to build a terminal for receiving supplies of liquefied natural gas from the United States. A similar statement was made by The Wall Street Journal.
The author of the material writes that Merkel offered to “open Germany for LNG from the United States” as the main concession to Trump, who, as you know, “is trying to weaken Russia's control on the largest energy market in Europe”. The publication claims that the Chancellor promised government support for the American draft, making it clear to a certain group of German legislators that the decision to co-finance the project was taken at the level of the Cabinet.
It is expected that the construction of a terminal for the transportation of liquefied natural gas in northern Germany will cost 500 million euros, which is about 576 million dollars, according to The Wall Street Journal.
