This is only the latest in a series of moves that show how the Biden administration’s actions are actually working to save the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, even though Biden’s officials publicly claim to oppose it.As early as Wednesday afternoon, the Senate will vote on a bill by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) that would mandate U.S. sanctions on the company that owns and hopes to soon operate Nord Stream 2 — also known around Capitol Hill as the “the Molotov-Ribbentrop pipeline,” a derogatory reference to the 1939 nonaggression pact between Germany and the Soviet Union. Schumer (N.Y.), Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez (N.J.) and other Democrats to introduce a competing bill that would authorize a larger package of sanctions, including sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, but only in the event of a Russian attack.In exchange for Cruz releasing his holds on Biden diplomatic nominees, Schumer promised him a stand-alone vote on his Nord Stream 2 bill.
