U.S. Warns Nord Stream 2 Is on the Line (3:55 p.m.) 

U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan expressed confidence that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline will never begin pumping natural gas from Russia to Germany should Russian forces invade Ukraine. 

“We will follow through on the clear and definitive statement we have made as the Biden administration -- one way or the other, if Russia invades Ukraine, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward,” Sullivan said on “Fox News Sunday.” 

Sullivan reiterated on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that an incursion would lead to “the imposition of severe economic consequences,” while declining to describe any military action by President Vladimir Putin as imminent. Russia has denied that it plans to attack its neighbor.
