Joe Biden accused of 'total surrender to Putin' over Nord Stream 2 pipeline
Under the expected deal Germany would agree to contribute to a new $1 billion fund to help Ukraine transition to cleaner sources of energy. Pat Toomey, a Republican senator in Washington, said: "Any deal that allows for the completion of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is badly flawed.” Germany refused a US proposal to impose a "kill-switch clause" under which Berlin would have the power to suspend operations of the pipeline, the Wall Street journal reported. Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, said: "We have ongoing concerns about how the project threatens European energy security, undermines Ukraine security, and the security of our Eastern flank Nato allies and partners." The US sought to assuage Ukraine by inviting its president to the White House, and moments after the deal was confirmed it was announced that Mr Biden would host Volodymyr Zelensky on Aug 30. Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, said the visit would affirm "our close cooperation in energy security."
