Donald Trump is RIGHT: Germany imports 70 per cent of its gas from Russia

Donald Trump is RIGHT: Germany imports 70 per cent of its gas from Russia in a controversial deal that has enriched its former Chancellor and it will soon receive even MORE - but the US could step in

• The EU statistics agency Eurostat says Russia supplies 70% of Germany's gas
• Former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has profited from gas deals with Russia
• Trump argued Germany is still 'totally controlled by Russia' because of the gas
• US shale resources could provide Europe's supplies with Liquefied Natural Gas

Donald Trump's claim that Germany imports 70 per cent of its gas from Russia at a fiery Nato summit today is correct - and the country will soon receive even more.

The EU's statistics agency, Eurostat, says that Russia is responsible for up to 75% of Germany's total gas imports.

And experts say that figure could dramatically increase after a new pipeline between Russia and Germany opens in two years time.

Germany already imports 55 billion cubic meters of gas from Russia via the Nord Stream pipeline and will pump another 55 billion cubic meters through the new Nord Stream 2 network........(SNIP)

All the more reason to get to the bottom of the Russian Collusion investigation and after the truth has come out, cut ties with Donald's good buddy Vlad Putin.

Trump's doing his best to weaken Russia in a huge way!

But the left is so blind they think he is in cahoots with Russia.

They ain't got a brain in their little heads!

It's 50-70% of gas imports. That's only a portion of the German energy consumption.

What the article does not answer is why any of the NATO members should be giving Russia huge sums of money which they will use to build up their military!

No, I agree there. It is a bad idea. But it doesn't make Germany dependent on Russia.

Oh but sir, don't you know? To raise such a point is barbaric!! Trump is a Cretin you see, no gentleman, for stating that Germany gives its money to Russia while we spend our money to protect Germany. Its just unseemly that this oaf Trump should actually tell the truth and put that old hag skank Merkel, who was goosestepping to "Slav'sya, Otechestvo nashe svobodnoye" not long ago, in her Commie Pinko place.

No, you see, a good American president would just keep his yap shut and take it in the rear, like the baby-killing socialist Kenyan did and his sidekick Crooked Hillary.
