The USA needs to oppose the Nord Stream 2, a project providing for construction of a new export gas pipeline running from Russia to Europe across the Baltic Sea, Democrat Senator from New Hampshire, Jeanne Shaheen, said.




Russia follows the practice of converting a natural gas into a weapon - MarketWatch quotes Shaheen, a member of the Committee for foreign relations of the Senate. 

According to her, the pipeline will give Russia more opportunities to exert influence on Europe and intimidate it, especially in regards of Ukraine. Ms Shaheen added that the USA should support the EU's energy security.

The Senator noted that Barack Obama’s administration had believed the EU's energy security a priority of U.S. policy. She expressed hope that the new President, Donald Trump, would continue that policy.
