The US House of Representatives approved a Pentagon budget bill that also expands sanctions against companies building the German-Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
The bill passed with an overwhelming majority of both Democrats and Republicans, far exceeding the two-thirds "super majority" needed to override a presidential veto. The bill must now go to the Senate where it is expected to pass, too. US opposition to the pipeline goes back to President Obama's second term. President Trump, surprisingly, agreed with this foreign policy position inherited from the Obama administraton. Work on the pipeline stopped a year ago under pressure from the US - but is due to restart any day now. Germany rejects US calls for a stop - just as it rejects sanctions.
