German tank storage operator TanQuid must sell its stake in a pipeline company that operates critical defence systems, following its controversial takeover by a US company, according to a letter from the Economy Ministry seen by dpa.
This must be done “in a timely manner” and forms part of the conditions under which the Economy Ministry authorized the acquisition of TanQuid by US company Sunoco LP.
So while we read that a US firm from the MAGA sphere bought critical infrastructure in Germany and (rightfully) got upset about that, it all along was the plan for them to have to sell that piece of critical infrastructure for the deal to be authorised?
Sometimes I’m so tired of getting baited to become enraged about something that only a couple of days later turns out to be completely different all along. What a waste of time.
