President Joe Biden said Monday that there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Europe if Russia invades Ukraine.

In a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Feb. 7, the two leaders showed a united front in posing the threat of “far-reaching, severe” sanctions against Russia if it moves to invade Ukraine.
