The members of the US Congress Committee members made the return of sanctions on the Nord Stream Nord Stream 2 AG gas pipeline operator. According to TASS, the corresponding message was sent to the first June US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
According to Congressmen, the completion of the construction of the gas pipeline will allow “Russia further destabilizing behavior in Europe.” In addition, the implementation of the project does not correspond to the tasks that are facing the United States administration in the field of climate, the authors of the Epistle are considered.
“The growing dependence of Europe from the Russian gas, from which higher emissions occur than from other energy sources, contradicts your goal about reducing emissions,” the document says.
Earlier, US Energy Minister Jennifer Granholm doubted the ecology of Russian gas and called him “the dirty” in the world. Commenting on Granholm’s words, Senator Alexey Pushkov joked that, unlike Russian, American gas consists of “Molecules of Freedom”.
To date, “Northern Stream-2” is ready for 95 percent. For the speedy completion of the construction of the gas pipeline, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was made.
