Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs suggested that the United States may be responsible for destroying part of the Nord Stream pipelines last week, triggering a Bloomberg TV host to interject.

Sachs floated the idea that the Russian natural gas-carrying line was hit by the United States or one of its allies and not Russia. He argued that the United States would benefit from the destruction of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines because it would force Europe to not cave and return to using Russian natural gas amid the ongoing Ukraine war.
