US lawmakers have agreed to include additional sanctions on Nord Stream 2 in the defense bill, Bloomberg reported, citing three sources.
According to the newspaper, the sanctions will be directed against insurance and certification companies that work with Russian courts after the project is completed.
The sanctions will be included in the National Defense Law of 2021, which will be approved at the end of the year.
At the same time, it is specified that the sanctions currently in force will be maintained.
We will recall, in October, that the US State Department announced the expansion of sanctions against Nord Stream-2. Initially, the sanctions concerned ships laid out of pipelines. The restrictions now apply to companies that assist and finance pipeline vessels to upgrade or install equipment.
