Proponents of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline between Germany and Russia hope US President-elect Joe Biden will make life easier for them. But they could be mistaken.

Washington says Nord Stream 2 will make Europe more dependent on Russian gas deliveries – and will allow Russia to cut off supplies to countries like Ukraine. Biden’s team has already spoken out against the project.
