The US has reached a deal with Germany that would allow completion of the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline opposed by the Biden administration
Washington The US announced Wednesday that it has reached a deal with Germany that would allow completion of the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline opposed by the Biden administration as a"malign influence project" that Russia could use to gain leverage over European allies.
