evidence: PolitiFact previously reported on Nord Stream 2, the 750-mile undersea pipeline project that Russia launched in 2015. Kayleigh McEnany, a former press secretary for then-President Donald Trump, said in 2022 that "Trump (placed sanctions on) Russia. President Biden gave them a pipeline." We rated that claim Mostly False. [...] Burgum said Biden approved the Nord Stream 2 pipeline after Trump shut it down, and then shut down the nation’s natural gas export capacity. [...] Biden did not "approve" Nord Stream 2; the U.S. president doesn’t have that power. However, Biden did change U.S. policy to allow the last 10% to be completed, with safeguards against its hostile use.
