The Trump administration is on a diplomatic offensive against Russia\u2019s Nord Stream 2 pipeline, lobbying across Europe to kill off the project\u00a0while also boosting its own gas sales to Europe.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0geopolitical rationale behind the U.S. position is to keep Russia from dominating European gas markets. There is also a growing commercial imperative as the U.S. starts to sell liquified natural gas to the EU and Russia\u2019s Gazprom becomes a competitor.<\/p>\n

Unlike Donald Trump\u2019s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, breaking with Obama administration support, the new administration is sticking with\u00a0its Democratic predecessor\u2019s\u00a0position on the pipeline \u2014 even if the commercial reasons are more obvious.<\/p>\n
