The German Ministry of Foreign Affairs rated the likelihood of introducing new US sanctions against the North Stream-2 gas pipeline. This is reported by TASS.
Country Foreign Minister Haiko Maas did not rule out new restrictions against a gas pipeline project from Washington. “Both democrats and Republicans are not very positive about the” Northern Flow-2 “,” he said.
In late May, the American leader Joe Biden reported that the US sanctions would not be able to stop the construction of the North Stream-2 gas pipeline, since it was almost completed. Before that, Washington refused sanctions against the NORD Stream 2 AG gas pipeline operator and his heads of Mattias Varniga. At the same time, the United States introduced restrictive measures against Russian organizations and vessels involved in the Northern Stream-2 project.
Initially, the launch of the “Northern Flow-2” was scheduled for the end of 2019, but due to American sanctions it had to postpone him several times. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in June that the completion of the second branch of the pipeline will occur after one and a half or two months. The first thread will be fill in gas already on June 11.
