I don't want Putin rich with oil and gas revenues and able to invest in his military and pose a threat to America. So the sanctions legislation that I authored, it passed. Putin stopped building Nord Stream 2 literally the day that President Trump signed my sanctions legislation in law. He signed it, if I Remember right, at 7:00pm on a Thursday. Putin stopped construction at 6:45pm so the sanctions legislation worked and it killed the pipeline. (1:41:56–1:42:03)
