U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell has resumed sanctions threats against German companies that are participating in the construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline across the bottom of the Baltic Sea. FOCUS reported that.



“From the American point of view, the gas pipeline will provide not only gas, but also an increased risk of sanctions,” Grenell said.



He warned that European countries would become dependent on Russia because of the pipeline.



Among the German companies participating in the Nord Stream-2 project are the Uniper energy group and the oil and gas producer Wintershall Dea.



It is not the first time that Grenell has publicly demonstrated the position of the United States regarding the Nord Stream-2. In January, he even sent a letter to a number of German companies, in which he declared "a significant risk of sanctions" in connection with the implementation of the gas pipeline project.
