“If this (US behavior regarding the project. - RT ) finally does not stop, we must consider serious measures to protect ourselves. For example, penalties for US natural gas are possible, ”the MP said.
Thus, as noted, he answered the question about the bill on sanctions against Nord Stream 2.
According to him, the behavior of the American side in relation to the gas pipeline should no longer be understood as a friendly act, it is an encroachment on the sovereignty of Germany and the European Union.
Earlier, a draft sanctions bill was introduced in the US Senate, which, according to Senator John Barasso, aims to clarify and expand existing sanctions.
The State Duma, commenting on the introduction of the bill, noted that US attempts to influence commercial relations between other countries have the opposite effect.
