Psaki was demanded to explain why Scholz does not want to block SP-2
Oleg Kravtsov) – The United States intends to prevent the launch of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline if Russia attacks Ukraine.
According to a PolitNavigator correspondent, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said this at a briefing in Washington.
She was asked why German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and US President Joe Badein refused to promisethat in the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, the launch of Nord Stream 2 will be blocked.
“He was asked many times, not only at yesterday's press conference, but also later in the interview. Why? Why can’t we spit out the words that President Biden said?” the journalist asked in bewilderment.
The White House press secretary was never really able to answer this question.
“Well, what I can say is, of course, the US government and President Biden, and our commitment and agreement that in the event of a Russian invasion, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward. At the moment, it is still not working,” Psaki said.
The journalist asked the question again, demanding to explain the position of the German Chancellor.
“You are a very hard working reporter, Mara, and I am sure you can ask the Germans this question too. But I can only speak on behalf of our government, and I can - you heard the President speak and repeat many times yesterday about how strong, you know, our relationship and our alliance is. That Germany is one of the most important allies that we have in the world, that we have full confidence and trust in their commitment to achieving a strong outcome or strong consequences in the event of a Russian invasion,” Psaki concluded.
