Possible digs on Russia-Germany pipeline. (I'm sorry I can't help with this - eye surgery.) My thought on Trump calling out Germany as being controlled by the Russians is that he was talking about bad actors. So…

"Who is paying for it: Russia's energy giant Gazprom is the sole shareholder of the Nord Stream 2 AG, the company in charge of implementing the €9.5 billion ($11.1 billion) project. Gazprom is also covering half of the cost. The rest, however, is being financed by five western companies: ENGIE, OMV, Royal Dutch Shell, Uniper and Wintershall."

– Who are the EU companies and who controls them?

ENGIE

OMV

Royal Dutch Shell

Uniper

Wintershall
