U.S. president is pushing Germany to pull the brakes on a major gas deal as the price for avoiding a trade war By Bojan Pancevski May 17, 2018 10:13 a.m. ET
BERLIN—President Donald Trump is pressing Germany to pull the brakes on a major gas deal with Russia as the price for avoiding a trans-Atlantic trade war, according to German, U.S. and European officials.
