The Austrian Foreign Ministry has rejected US plans to impose sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
This became known from Twitter, the press service of the Austrian Foreign Ministry.
Earlier, the State Department published its recommendations within the framework of the law on countering Russia through sanctions, including in the document Nord Stream 2 and the second string of the Turkish Stream. This jeopardizes the contributions of European companies associated with Russian export gas pipelines, which caused a negative reaction from Vienna.
“Austria categorically rejects US plans to impose extraterritorial sanctions against the construction of Nord Stream 2. We rely on direct dialogue between partners, and not on unilateral measures, ”summed up the Austrian side.
