The construction of all strings of the Nord Stream gas pipeline was completed; therefore, statements by US presidential candidate Donald Trump about the destruction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline at the construction stage are unclear, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing, answering a question from TASS.
“Nord Stream was eventually completed. Moreover, one string of Nord Stream 2 is intact, and at any moment, as the President [of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin] said, it is ready to be launched,” the Kremlin spokesman stated. “It is very difficult to guess what Mr. Trump meant,” Peskov added, suggesting addressing “the election headquarters of this candidate” for clarification.
