Two U.S. senators are expected to introduce next week sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline that Russia is trying to finish, but which Washington has opposed since the Obama era, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday.
The sanctions, which would have to pass Congress and be signed by President Donald Trump, are expected to be introduced as soon as Monday by Senators Ted Cruz, a Republican, and Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat.
Late last year sanctions sponsored by Cruz and Shaheen halted work by Swiss-Dutch company Allseas on the pipeline that aims to double the capacity of an existing line sending Russian gas to Germany. Washington has opposed the project, which would tighten Putin’s economic and political grip over Europe.
