According to the agency, the State Department confirmed this in a report that was presented to Congress.
In particular, it states that Nord Stream 2 AG conducts activities subject to sanctions in accordance with US laws, but it was decided to abandon the new restrictive measures for reasons related to national security.
Earlier, the White House said that they still consider SP-2 a geopolitical project of Russia.
The day before, the media reported that the Biden administration would abandon sanctions against Nord Stream 2 AG and the company's executive director.
The Kremlin noted that so far they are talking about "impersonal publications", but the fact of their appearance "in itself is quite positive."
