Pipeline parts are installed at Nord Stream 2 receiving station in Lubmin, northern Germany on Aug. 2, 2019. Construction of Nord Stream 2 resumed in Danish waters at the beginning of 2020, while Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron said on Feb. 5 they were united in opposing U.S. sanctions on the project. Around 120 kilometers of the pipeline remains to be laid in Danish waters as well as 30 kilometers in German waters.

Germany is reportedly trying to convince the United States to remove all its sanctions over Nord Stream 2, a Russian pipeline that would double the amount of gas transported from Russia to Europe.

The U.S. doesn’t like Nord Stream 2, because it will increase the European Union’s reliance on Moscow for its energy security. That’s why it has sanctioned all the firms involved in building the pipeline.
