Nord Stream 2: German Government Files Show Poland's PiS and Trump's USA Administrations Opposing the Project

Süddeutsche Zeitung claims to possess thousands of German government files showing that, contrary to official claims, the German government treated Nord Stream as a geopolitical endeavor.

The text does not present the files themselves; however, it runs through the most important aspects of both internal government relations and disputes regarding the Nord Stream construction, as well as international debates about turning the pipeline on in the wake of emerging Russian attacks on Ukraine after February 2014. Here is my summary of the article and the quotes concerning Polish-German relations in the context of Nord Stream. What it definitely shows is that Trump’s administration was tackling it effectively and that the conservative PiS government of Poland was one of the key troublemakers for Germany and Russia in their attempts to make Nord Stream 2 operational.
