US President Joe Biden promises to "bring an end" to the disputed Nord Stream 2 pipeline built to bring Russian gas to Europe, if Moscow invades neighboring Ukraine, Agence France Presse (AFP) reported.

"If Russia invades -- that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine, again -- then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it," Biden tells a joint news conference with Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
When asked how he would do that, he responded, "I promise you we will be able to do it."
Europe's most divisive energy project, Nord Stream 2 is designed by Russian energy giant Gazprom to double the amount of gas flowing from Russia straight to Germany, bypassing traditional transit nation Ukraine, Andrea Shalal also reported for Reuters.
The United States and Germany have sought to present a united front against potential Russian military aggression in Ukraine, with Biden declaring the two in "lockstep" despite questions over Berlin's commitment to scuttle the important energy pipeline.
