US officials speak with Danish counterparts about ‘apparent sabotage’ of Nord Stream pipelines
Top officials in the
Biden administration on Tuesday evening spoke with their counterparts in Denmark to discuss what they called the “apparent sabotage” of two natural gas pipelines that run from Russia to Germany.
White House national security adviser
Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken both said they spoke with their Danish counterparts after seismic stations near the Baltic Sea
recorded explosions as the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines began experiencing leaks.
The leaks led officials in multiple countries near the pipeline to point to sabotage, but Biden administration officials earlier on Tuesday declined to speculate on potential causes.
