The Biden administration defended its decision not to impose sanctions against Germany, saying it could damage the relationship between the U.S. and Germany.
Russia was hit with new sanctions imposed by the U.S. government over the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Europe, but Germany remained exempt, the Associated Press reported.
The sanctions were directed at two Russian ships, the Ostap Sheremeta, which is involved in laying pipe for the project, and the JSC Nobility, and at a Russian construction firm, Konstanta OOO. Sanctions have not targeted the German company in charge of the project, Nord Stream AG, or its executives. The Biden administration waived the sanctions against the company earlier this year, saying it was an attempt to rebuild relations with Germany after the Trump administration.have voiced concerns over the pipeline giving Russia too much power in Europe, but the Biden administration defended its position by saying that it opposes the project but it is a fait accompli.
