COPENHAGEN - Denmark on Wednesday gave the go-ahead to the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, removing the last major hurdle to completion of the Russian-led project that has divided opinion in the European Union.
U.S. President Donald Trump has been a particularly vocal critic, warning the pipeline could turn Germany into a “hostage of Russia.” Germany has also said that Nord Stream 2 will only be launched if Gazprom also continues to transit gas through Ukraine. “We are pleased to have obtained Denmark’s consent to construct the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline through the Danish continental shelf area,” said Nord Stream 2’s permitting manager in Denmark, Samira Kiefer Andersson, in a statement.She said that preparatory work and the subsequent pipelay would start in coming weeks but it was not immediately clear how long it would take to complete the stretch.
