The author of the article writes that Biden by his "exchange of pleasantries" with German Chancellor Angela Merkel "threatens the consensus" between Democrats and Republicans on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
The article also says that it is not yet clear what Biden's concession on the project of a gas pipeline from Russia might be.
The material also mentions the fact that two US Senators sent a letter to Biden urging him not to abandon the tough policy towards Nord Stream 2.
"This describes Biden's dilemma when it comes to the gas pipeline, which has long been a source of controversy between Germany and the United States," the article notes.
Bloomberg previously reported that the State Department had not proposed new sanctions on Nord Stream 2.
