The offshore natural gas pipeline runs from Germany to Russia. Previously, the project was halted due to threats of sanctions from President Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Pompeo told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/energy\/us-german-deal-on-russias-nord-stream-2-pipeline-will-undermine-national-security-pompeo\"><span>Fox Business<\/span><\/a><span> anchor Maria Bartiromo that the pipeline will \u201cundermine American national security.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt undermines the Ukrainians, it undermines our friends in Poland, it undermines the United States and NATO,\u201d Pompeo remarked. \u201cIt is now the case that the Russians will have enormous influence over German energy.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cImagine in a time of conflict, if things go wrong, imagine what the Russians will do with that,\u201d he noted, adding that President Biden has given an \u201cenergy lifeline to the Russians which can choke off Eastern Europe and Ukraine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Earlier this year, other officials <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-slammed-over-russian-nord-stream-2-pipeline-report-shaping-up-to-be-most-pro-russia-president\"><span>blasted<\/span><\/a><span> Biden for the move \u2014 particularly in light of his administration nixing the Keystone XL project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cPresident Biden shuts down American pipelines, yet he green lights Russian pipelines,\u201d said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). \u201cMeanwhile, drivers pay more at the pump for the privilege of depending on foreign oil. This is what it looks like to put America last.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cStunning. In defiance of U.S. law, Biden is actively helping Putin build his pipeline,\u201d said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). \u201cObjectively speaking, the Biden administration is shaping up to be the most pro-Russia administration of the modern era.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf true, President Biden just delivered a huge victory to Vladimir Putin, who will now have a stranglehold over Europe\u2019s natural gas supplies,\u201d added Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). \u201cThen-candidate Biden promised to be tough on Russia, but it is increasingly clear that was just campaign rhetoric. There is absolutely no excuse for giving Putin more leverage over our allies and partners, including Ukraine. It is dangerous, na\u00efve, deceitful, and weak.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cReports are Pres Biden will ignore bipartisan will of Congress [to] waive sanctions on German company building Nordstream2,\u201d said Sen.
