USA: Sanctions on two ships and one company related to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline
The United States has announced new symbolic sanctions against two ships and a company connected to the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
The United States has announced new, symbolic sanctions against two ships and a company connected to the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline connecting Russia and Germany.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has announced that sanctions will be imposed on Transadria Ltd, a Russian-linked shipping company, on both ships.
These sanctions are in addition to other similar ones that have been imposed on smaller companies.
President Joe Biden preferred not to impose sanctions on the two countries in the spring, saying it would be better to maintain the US alliance with Germany rather than fight a project that is almost complete.
