The refusal of Merkel to attend the summit of G-7 may be associated with the "Northern stream-2"
last week in a telephone conversation the President of the United States Donald trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel argued about the pipeline "Nord stream-2", the NATO and relations with China, announced the publication Politico, citing sources.
"Merkel pointedly and publicly challenged the unilateral approach of the administration to trump a number of foreign policy issues, from climate change to Iran nuclear deal", the message reads.
Neither the representative of the Chancellor, nor the White house has not commented on the publication of information about "a hot argument".
President of the United States on 20 may announced that he was ready to hold a summit G-7 at the end of June in Washington, saying that "it will be a great sign for all - normalization!"
Merkel said that in her opinion, in June is still too early to large meetings, given that the virus is still circulating on the planet, and experts are calling for further vigilance and social distancing, even when the economy again begins to open.
According to Politico, other EU leaders can support Merkel and will not participate in the summit of the trump, if Merkel thinks this is a bad idea.
