“This step is taken from impotence. The persuasions did not help, the European countries declared that they needed the Nord Stream 2. I think these sanctions measures in the United States and limit. If they even accept sanctions against some companies, others will come. "Nord Stream - 2" will still work and the Americans will have to retreat. You can’t go against common sense, ”said the senator.

According to Dzhabarov, the adoption of this bill is a difficult question, because it must be approved by the House of Representatives and the US President.

Earlier, the US Senate Committee on International Affairs voted for sanctions against companies and individuals involved in the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

For the bill to enter into force, it must be approved by the House of Representatives and the US Senate, as well as US President Donald Trump.
