The United States has the tools to impose an embargo on Russian natural gas, said the US Secretary of the Interior, in charge of energy issues, Doug Bergum.
Speaking on the main news bulletin of Ertnews, he underlined that Washington is dealing with this issue very seriously, stressing that there are measures available that can be taken against Moscow, by the trade and finance ministries. He also said that sanctions can also be imposed against countries that violate the so-called secondary sanctions.
He pointed out at the same time that the United States has the ability to double the amount of natural gas we supply to Europe by completely replacing Russian natural gas with American gas.
He emphasized, at the same time, that by increasing the supply, signing long-term contracts and building better infrastructure, the price of natural gas will decrease to the benefit of consumers.
