MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 12th December, 2018) The resolution opposing the Nord Stream 2 project recently passed by the US House of Representatives is another manifestation of unscrupulous competition which Moscow considers unacceptable, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the US House of Representatives passed a resolution opposing the Nord Stream 2, claiming that the pipeline allegedly was a "drastic step backwards for European energy security and United States interests."
"We do not see anything new here. The same position has been voiced both at the level of US President [Donald Trump] and at the state department level, this is a consistent line. We consider it incorrect and unacceptable for us, as it is another attempt to prevent the implementation of a purely commercial economic project," Peskov said.
"The project has a number of competitive advantages, but [the United States] is trying to prevent the realization of this project using all permissible and not permissible methods that are nothing more than a camouflaged dishonest competition," Peskov added.
