By EUobserver
The US has threatened to impose sanctions on Swiss engineering firm Allseas unless it pulls out of Russia's project to build a new gas pipeline to Germany called Nord Stream 2, German newspaper Handelsblatt reported on Monday, citing German government sources. Allseas, which has an operational base in the Netherlands, is meant to lay 90 percent of Nord Stream 2 on the Baltic Sea bed by 2020.
