So we'll continue to work closely with Germany. We'll continue to work closely with our other allies and partners in Europe to uphold Europe's own stated energy security goals," Price said."Isn't it a bit disingenuous to claim credit for the 18 companies winding down?" asked Lee. "All of this work was done under the previous administration."You guys have only been in office for a month, right? Are you telling me that in the last four weeks these 18 companies all of the sudden decided to say, 'Oh my God! We better not do anything with Nord Stream 2,'" Lee said, referring to the proposed pipeline project. "You guys are taking credit for stuff the previous administration did," Lee asked. "Yes or no?""I am speaking for the Department of State!" Price said. "The people who have been working this, and the people who are working this now, were the same people a month ago, were the same people three months ago!"Price went on to say that the Biden position on the pipeline was the same as that of the previous administration. "We are concerned about the influence that it would allow Russia, and the leverage that it would give the Russian regime over some of our closest allies and partners in Europe," he concluded.Related articles around the webMost recentRecommended© 2021 Blaze Media LLC.
