Trump overweegt sancties tegen Nord Stream 2 gaspijplijn

June 13, 2019 - President Donald Trump heeft Duitsland weer bekritiseerd om de deal met Rusland over de Nord Stream 2 gaspijpleiding. Hij dreigt het project, dat volgens hem Berlijn tot gevangene van Moskou maakt, sancties op te leggen.

The Nord Stream 2 project will transport natural gas via a 1,200km pipeline from Russia to Europe. It has come under fire from the United States and some European countries claiming it could increase Europe’s dependence on Russia as a supplier of energy.

Washington, which wants to sell its liquefied natural gas to Europe, has threatened sanctions against companies involved in the Baltic pipeline. While it is wholly owned by Russian gas giant Gazprom, half of the project’s $9 billion cost is covered by five European energy and chemicals companies including Shell, BASF and ENGIE.

Russia, Finland, Sweden and Germany have already issued permits.
