US EditionNord Stream 2 Enters Debt Restructuring Deal with Creditors

- German Minister Robert Habeck called ideas to reactivate the pipeline 'the wrong direction of discussion,' while speculation about U.S. Talks on resuming gas deliveries has intensified.
- The debt deal allows Nord Stream 2 to seek new investors amid EU plans to end Russian energy imports by 2027 and continued opposition from Slovakia and Hungary labeling this 'economic suicide.
