US may include sanctions against Nord Stream - 2 in the military budget

To include additional sanctions on the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline in the draft US defense budget for fiscal 2020 2021 proposed a group of US senators. The corresponding proposal appeared in a multi-page document prepared in the US Senate. The authors of the proposal were Ted Cruz, Genie Sheikhin, John Barrasso, Ron Johnson and Tom Cotton. In their opinion, such tactics will become more successful for a number of reasons. The military budget is adopted in the United States in the fall or early winter, which will accelerate the imposition of sanctions. In addition, the American president will no longer be able to use the veto and impose a ban by blocking the entire budget. According to the news agency, the US authorities imposed sanctions against Nord Stream 2 last year. Later, US congressmen submitted a new bill to the House of Representatives, which provides for the expansion of sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
