German Chancellor Olaf Scholz didn't explicitly say whether Germany would terminate the pipeline being built to send gas from Russia to Europe, via Germany.
"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."
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." The Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which was completed in September but is not yet being used, would funnel natural gas from Russia under the Baltic Sea to the European Union through Germany.
