Senator-republic Ted Cruz caused a “personnel crisis” in the administration of US President Joe Bayiden because of the position of the head of state in the North Stream-2 gas pipeline. It is reported by the New York Times.
According to the US publication, Cruz, who advocates tough project sanctions, detains the approval of 59 American ambassadors in the Upper Chamber of Congress. Because of his position, senators have to spend a lot of time to spend a discussion of diplomats, which is not always possible due to their dense schedule.
Head of the International Committee of the Senate Bob Menendez notes that the actions of the Cruise are “interest-free”. He stressed that the Republican undermines the entire process of national security and prevents its appointment even on those positions that are not related to political issues on Konound.
Previously, a professor in the field of international relations between Hamilton College (USA) Alan Kafruni rated the prospects for the introduction by Biden’s sanctions against the North Stream-2 gas pipeline. According to him, despite the intensive criticism by the establishment, the US President will certainly reject the amendments to the defense budget for 2022, providing for new restrictive measures regarding the project.
