IN US State Department warned that companies involved in the construction “Nord Stream 2“, will come under US sanctions and should stop working immediately.
Statement by the Head of the United States Department of State Anthony Blinken regarding the construction of the Russian gas pipeline was published on website departments on Thursday 18 March.
The State Department called Nord Stream 2 a geopolitical project of the Russian Federation aimed at dividing Europe and weakening European energy security, and reminded of the sanctions.
“As the president noted [Джо Байден]”Nord Stream 2 is a bad project for Germany, Ukraine and our partners and allies in Central and Eastern Europe,” Blinken began his comment.
It is noted that in America they are tracking efforts to complete construction and evaluating information about the companies involved in the project.
“The sanctions legislation passed by Congress in 2019 and expanded in 2020 has significant bipartisan majority support. The Biden administration is committed to implementing this legislation,” Blinken said.
