US President Joe Biden and his German counterpart, Chancellor Olaf Scholz met at the White House on Monday.

While the two leaders attempted to put on a united front, there are clear differences in opinion when it comes to the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

Biden has made it clear the project will not move forward if Russia invades Ukraine, but Scholz has declined to confirm any such action.

“We are jointly ready, and all of NATO is ready,” Biden said, referring to the powerful Western alliance, though Ukraine is not a member.

Appearing on CNN Scholz confirmed his vow to remain aligned with America, but once again wouldn’t say whether Germany will commit to suspending the project if an invasion occurs.

“It’s necessary for Russia to understand that a lot more could happen than they’ve perhaps calculated with themselves,.” Scholz said.

Germany is heavily reliant on Russia’s energy supplies, making it difficult for the nation to impose sanctions on Moscow without facing severe punishment.

Russia has denied any plans to attack its neighbor but demands that the U.S. and its allies bar Ukraine and other former Soviet nations from joining NATO, halt weapons deployments there.
