Burisma's Checks Clear: Biden to waive sanctions on company in charge of Nord Stream 2
[Axios] The Biden administration will waive sanctions on the corporate entity and CEO overseeing the construction of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline into Germany, according to two sources briefed on the decision.
The usual corruption they're already on retainer for, or the "price" of the release of the "decryption key" for the Colonial Pipeline? We'll never know.
The State Department will also acknowledge that the corporate entity in charge of the project (Nord Stream 2 AG) and its CEO (Putin crony and former East German intelligence officer Matthias Warnig) are engaged in sanctionable activities.

However, the State Department will waive the applications of those sanctions, citing U.S. national interests.

This planned move seems at odds with Secretary of State Antony Blinken's statement, made during his confirmation hearing: "I am determined to do whatever we can to prevent that completion" of Nord Stream 2.

Hypocritical? Yes.

More bullying by the USA? Of course.
