At least 18 European companies have withdrawn from the Nord Stream 2 project. This became known to the German newspaper Tagesspiegel from the report of the US Secretary of State to Congress.
It is noted that this happened due to the threat of sanctions from the United States.
Earlier it became known that the German reinsurance company Munich Re Syndicate decided to stop serving the project.
On February 23, the State Department assessed the effectiveness of US sanctions against Nord Stream 2. According to Foreign Office spokesman Ned Price, the new US administration believes that the current strategy is working well and the measures taken against the project are working.
