(ANSA-AFP) - BRUSSELS, MAR 23 - US Secretary of State Antony
Blinken will warn his German counterpart on Tuesday of possible
sanctions over the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Russia at their
first face-to-face meeting. "President (Joe) Biden has been very
clear in saying that he believes the pipeline is a bad idea. Bad
for Europe, bad for the United States," Blinken said at a press
conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels. He insisted the
project was "in contradiction to the EU's own energy security
goals" and could "undermine" the interests of Ukraine, Poland"
and other allies. "I'm sure I'll have an opportunity to
reiterate that, including the law in the United States, which
requires us to sanction companies participating in the efforts
to complete the pipeline." (ANSA-AFP).
