Biden says there won’t be a Nord Stream 2 if Russia invades Ukraine – By Kathryn Watson (CBS News) / February 7, 2022
President Biden on Monday vowed to put a stop to the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, should Russia invade Ukraine.
“If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine, again, then there will be — there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2,” the president told reporters. “We will bring an end to it.”
Mr. Biden’s remarks came at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at the White House. He did not say how he would stop the pipeline, and when asked, Mr. Biden responded, “I promise you, we’ll be able to do it.”
Scholz, too, fielded questions about the pipeline, and he declined to explicitly say Germany would cancel the pipeline in the event of Russian aggression in Ukraine, but he stressed that the U.S. and Germany are “absolutely united.”
