Novak's comments come as construction continues apace on Nord Stream 2 — a contentious undersea gas pipeline.
"They use gas as a weapon and they do it on the other side of the Atlantic," Novak said, referring to the world's largest economy.
The project, which Novak said was 82% complete, is intended to provide Europe with a sustainable gas supply while providing Russia with more direct access to the European gas market.The U.S. has expressed skepticism over Nord Stream 2 and in July, a U.S. Senate committee passed a bill to place sanctions on companies and individuals involved in building the undersea pipeline.
