- Sec. 2: Imposition of sanctions with respect to Nord Stream 2: Exempts certain activities and transactions from the sanctions: authorized intelligence, law enforcement and national security activities; admissions needed to meet United Nations headquarters and consular obligations; and the importation of goods.
What it does
- Sec. 2: Requires the President, within 15 days of enactment, to impose sanctions on any entity established for or responsible for planning, constructing, or operating the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, or a successor entity, and on its corporate officers.
- Sec. 2: Makes an alien who is a corporate officer of such an entity inadmissible to the United States, ineligible for a visa, and subject to immediate revocation of any current visa or entry documentation.

- Sec. 2: Allows the President to waive the sanctions if the President determines the waiver is in the national security interest of the United States and reports on the waiver and its reason to the appropriate congressional committees, subject to congressional review under section 216 of the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act.
- Sec. 4: Amends section 216(a)(2) of the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act so its congressional review also covers the removal of sanctions under section 7503 of the Protecting Europe's Energy Security Act of 2019 and under section 2 of this Act.
