FM: Berlin does not support US sanctions violating international law
Germany believes the US ex-territorial sanctions are unacceptable, a spokesman at the German Foreign Ministry told TASS in a comment on President Donald Trump's signing into law of a bill on sanctions against Russia that was earlier endorsed by both houses of the U.S. Congress.
"This was something to be expected and it's important to see now how Trump will handle the law," the spokesman said. "That 's why we're calling for a close coordination of the policy of sanctions, the way it is envisioned by law."

"As for the ex-territorial sanctions that stand at variance with international law, we don't support them," he said.
