If Russia invades Ukraine there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2

President Biden made clear that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline will not go online if Russia follows through with an invasion of Ukraine.

“If Russia invades, that means tanks with troops crossing the border of Ukraine… there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2,” Biden said during a joint press conference with Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz.

Scholz said that his country was committed to working in lockstep with the U.S. on the issue of Russia, though he did not specifically point to a shutdown of the controversial pipeline.
