Three Republican senators—John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), and Steve Daines (R-Mont.)—have put forward legislation that would back up President Donald Trump’s opposition to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline with sanctions.
Trump made headlines at the NATO summit in Brussels by criticizing the pipeline—which runs from Russia near St. Petersburg, under the Baltic Sea to Germany—as a threat to Germany’s and Europe’s energy independence and security, and as undercutting Western sanctions of Russia.
