The White House does not currently want to impose sanctions on the Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, since the very threat of their application is a “lever of pressure on Russia” in the situation around Ukraine, said Jen Psaki, a spokeswoman for the US administration.
According to Psaki, some congressmen “think that the desired effect can be achieved if sanctions are imposed on Nord Stream 2 right now,” but the administration of US President Joe Biden does not agree with this.
In addition, Psaki commented on the silence of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on the issue of the gas pipeline. The day before, Scholz, who paid a visit to Washington, did not mention Nord Stream 2 either at a press conference after the meeting with Biden or on CNN, despite the efforts of the interviewer. At the briefing, Psaki was asked to comment on Scholz’s persistent reluctance to touch on this topic. The spokeswoman noted that this question should be “asked to the German government,” and she speaks on behalf of “only the American administration.” At the same time, according to her, on the eve of Biden “said several times that the alliance is very strong and that Germany is one of the closest allies of the United States in the world.”
We will remind, on the eve of Biden said that the “Nord Stream-2” “will no longer be” if Russia “invades Ukraine”.
The Kremlin denies allegations of alleged aggression against Kiev.
