. Chancellor of Austria, Sebastian Kurz, following talks with President of the United States of America Donald trump in the US capital said that Austria is interested in the reliability of energy supply and will continue to promote the Project " Nord stream-2 ".

"the EU finally has more or less agreement on the draft, and we will continue to promote this Project. We would have no issues in acquiring gas in the US, but until then, as long as the cost in Russia is better than USA, Russia more attractive to us as a partner in this matter.
