The U.S. Department of State on Thursday said that any firms involved in implementing the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project must stop participating in it unless they want to be subjected to sanctions.

"The Department reiterates its warning that any entity involved in the Nord Stream 2 pipeline risks U.S. sanctions," U.S. State Secretary Antony Blinken said.

Blinken has called on every such entity to "immediately abandon work on the pipeline."
