Biden Administration Won’t Block Completion of Nord Stream 2 The US and Germany are close to an agreement on the pipeline
Several media outlets reported on Tuesday that the Biden administration won’t block the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from being completed. The reports said Washington and Berlin are close to reaching a deal on the natural gas pipeline, which will connect Russia and Germany.
Bloomberg News, the US and Germany agreed to threaten sanctions against Moscow if “Russia tries to use energy as a weapon against Ukraine.” The Nord Stream 2 will carry natural gas, bypassing Ukraine, which stands to lose billions in transportation fees once the project is complete.
