Earlier, the US State Department said that the reason for Washington's rejection of the Nord Stream 2 project is geopolitics.

“Germany constantly declares that this project is beneficial for it!

And the US constantly declares that the economy and energy cannot be politicized!

And now those who do not want to politicize the economy and energy will help those who benefit from the project from an economic and energy point of view, not to implement it? "

- wrote Zakharova on Facebook.

In her opinion, "The State Department has admitted that the United States is undermining the basic principles of free trade and competition, subordinating the laws of the market to its own geopolitical interests, acting against the will of sovereign countries and against the interests of citizens of independent states."
