The Russia-led Nord Stream 2 consortium said on Thursday that work to lay its subsea gas pipeline to Germany would resume in Danish waters on Jan. 15, Reuters reported citing the TASS news agency, despite pressure from the United States for construction to stop.
Russia said on Wednesday it was confident of completing the project, although two sources said the U.S. State Department had this month told European companies suspected of helping to build the pipeline that they faced possible sanctions.
Nord Stream 2 has not responded to a request for comment.
