On not imposing sanctions on Nord Stream 2 earlier, State Department spox Ned Price says the pipeline was 90 percent done when Biden took office

As Twitchy reported, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki explained that President Biden imposing sanctions on Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline after lifting them last year was not a shift in policy; “We don’t see it as a shift at all,” she told reporters.

Also asked about the sanctions was State Department spokesman Ned Price. Asked why the State Department didn’t think it would have had move leverage if the sanctions had been imposed before the pipeline was finished, Price answered that the pipeline was more than 90 percent finished when Biden took office.

You might recall that Biden gave reporters a similar answer last May when asked about lifting the sanctions on Nord Stream 2:

As people noted at the time, the border wall was almost completed, and so was the Keystone XL pipeline.

So the Biden White House always opposed the Nord Stream 2 pipeline but lifted the sanctions because it was almost finished anyway.
