Germany's Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel on Friday denounced US sanctions targeting Russia as "not good for Germany nor the United States.”
Speaking in the northern German city of Wolfsburg, Gabriel criticized the United States for departing from its cooperation with the European Union on Russia, saying this had been key to providing a strong response to Moscow in the past.
"Aggressively combining foreign policy issues with American economic interests and saying: we want to drive Russian gas out of the European market so we can sell American gas there is definitely not something we can accept,” said Gabriel.
