Two key U.S. senators urged the Biden administration to enforce sanctions aimed at blocking the completion of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, saying they are concerned by reports that a deal to avoid restrictions is being considered.
“Press reports that the German government has put forth an offer that would require the United States to disregard statutorily mandated sanctions have us concerned,” Idaho Republican James Risch and New Hampshire Democrat Jeanne Shaheen wrote in a letter dated Friday.
