President Biden announced that he will be imposing sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline connecting Russia and Germany, in response to Russian actions in Ukraine.
The move reverses a May 2021 decision to waive sanctions on the project, which was heavily criticized by Republicans. The sanctions will affect Nord Stream 2 AG and its CEO Matthis Warnig.
