Biden is against Nord Stream 2, but does not want to spoil relations with Germany, – Politico

On the one hand, the administration of US President Joe Biden wants to interfere with the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. At the same time, Biden does not want to spoil relations with Germany, which supports the construction.

Writes about this Politico with reference to a high-ranking official.

Biden believes that Nord Stream 2 is disadvantageous for Europe. At the same time, relations with Germany are at stake.

The administration is required by law to submit a report to Congress every 90 days identifying the entities involved in the pipeline's construction that are subject to sanctions. The process of setting these new targets is now underway and could be completed before the next report is due in May, officials said.
