"Germany is totally controlled by Russia because they're getting between 60 to 70% of their energy from Russia and a new pipeline," Trump said soon after arriving at the NATO summit in Brussels.

According to Eurostat, the European Union's main statistics agency, Russia is the source of 25% to 50% of Germany's oil imports and 50% to 75% of its gas imports. Overall, roughly 40% of Europe's gas imports come from Russia, according to the agency.

According AG Energiebilanzen, a Germany energy-research group, 59% of Germany's energy consumption comes from oil and gas, with the other 41% coming from coal, renewable sources, and nuclear power. That puts roughly 20% of Germany's energy mix coming from Russian oil and gas, a high percentage but certainly short of the 60% to 70% that Trump suggested.
