Former US President Donald Trump said that he stopped the North Stream-2 gas pipeline, and the current American leader Joe Biden allowed him. It is reported by RIA Novosti.
According to him, the head of the White House will bring the United States economy to a collapsed state. “Biden canceled the American keystone xl pipeline and its 48 thousand jobs for American workers, but he approved the Russian pipeline to Europe. I stopped the pipeline to Europe, I put on them from top to bottom,” the politician said.
Trump also added that Germany pays billions of dollars for pipeline, and Washington protects Berlin from Moscow. “I told Angela [Merkel, German Chancellor] – I like it, I’m fine with her, but she is tough, smart and uses the USA,” he said.
Politician added that the United States reached the American energy independence, which “will end.” “We will buy oil in the Middle East, we will buy oil in Russia,” – predicted former American leader.
To date, “Northern Stream-2” is ready for 95 percent. It was planned to put into operation at the end of 2019, but due to American restrictive measures, the launch period had to postpone several times.
