The European country of Germany has accused the North American country of the United States of America of ‘Modern Piracy’, as the latter has been provocatively redirected 200,000 Germany-bound masks for its own use.

As per a report, the shipment of FFP2 masks from the US which was supposed to reach Germany was interrupted in Bangkok and was redirected to the US.

The masks were ordered for the Berlin police department.

A senior minister based in Berlin has lashed out at the US for its provocative act at the time the world is undergoing a serious crisis. His assumption is that the masks were directed at the behest of the US government.

The US recently invoked a Korean-War-era law which makes the country easier to control how the companies operate in the country function.

The US has not yet commended on this matter. It is unclear at this moment how the move is going to affect the relation between Germany and the United States.
