Texas Senator Ted Cruz has now announced that he will be dropping his opposition to President Biden’s state department nominees after the latter unveiled sanctions against Russia’s Nordstream 2 pipeline.
As The Hill reports:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Wednesday announced he would lift his hold on President Biden’s State Department nominees amid news the administration planned to allow sanctions on the company behind Russia’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to move forward.
“President Biden made the right decision today. Allowing Putin’s Nord Stream 2 to come online would have created multiple, cascading, and acute security crises for the United States and our European allies for generations to come,” Cruz said in a statement. “Today’s announcement is critical to preventing such scenarios.”
Cruz had delayed dozens of Biden nominees for posts at the State Department over the administration’s decision to waive congressionally mandated sanctions on Nord Stream 2 AG, the company behind the controversial pipeline that would carry natural gas from Russia to Germany.
Shortly after Cruz issued the statement, Biden announced that he had ordered sanctions on Nord Stream 2 AG and its corporate officers.
Cruz’s announcement means President Biden will be able to quickly confirm numerous administration appointees who otherwise would have been held up in the Senate.

Title of article was misleading. Did you actually read the content? Cruz want to shut down Russia’s pipeline to Germany. Next step is for the US to become energy independent… again.
Congress needs to insist that Biden reopen the American pipeline so we can continue to be energy independent . Sure sanction Russia but could we please take care of our country first? We need to be energy independent in order to thrive as a country.
But without a majority in the House and Senate, it will never happen.
why would we want russia to stop shipping 500,000 barrels of oil to the United States? OR why would we stop Iran from shipping 800,000 barrels of oil here?I mean we have to give Russia and Iran some money to help take us out!
First of all, no reporter from ANY source has interviewed the people of ALL sides of that conflict, so people can NOT make informed decisions-they are ONLY telling the PART of the story to manipulate people into thinking what THEY want you to think-and it is anti-Russian. However, the greatest thing is that Cruz himself is damaging America by allowing TRASH to be in government positions just because of one tiny thing he believes that POS did correctly…
Ted Cruz is proving that he is Canadian – where he was born. He is a fake, naturalized American.
does Ted Cruise actually think that Biden had anything to do with the Nordstream2 ? it’s only Temporary! and Germany did it Not Biden
