German Chancellor Olaf Scholz inspected a mechanical turbine at the center of a natural gas dispute and declared Wednesday “there are no problems” with the part besides information from Russia’s state-controlled gas company.
Russian energy giant Gazprom last week halved the amount of natural gas flowing through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to 20% of capacity, citing delays with the turbine's repair and delivery. But Scholz insisted the needed part was is ready to be shipped to Russia at any time.
