Expressing opposition to removing sanctions with respect to the Nord Stream II pipeline.

House Resolution 426 is a formal statement expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States should maintain sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline. The resolution argues that the pipeline, which connects Russia to Germany, increases European dependence on Russian energy and undermines the strategic interests of the U.S. and its allies. While this resolution does not carry the force of law, it serves as a formal call for the President to use all available diplomatic and economic tools to prevent the project's completion and bolster European energy independence. For citizens, this measure reflects a legislative effort to influence international energy markets and prioritize national security by limiting Russia’s economic leverage over U.S. partners.
