Summary/Abstract: On 15 July, the U.S. State Department updated the public guidance for some parts of the 2017 CAATSA legislation. The move signals that the U.S. is ready to impose sanctions on companies involved in the construction of Nord Stream 2 (NS2). Significantly, this was Trump administration initiative, which so far has been reluctant to take strong measures against NS2. Almost certainly it will meet with greater effort by some EU countries to counter the U.S. sanctions.
