National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby repeatedly denied that the United States was involved in explosions that damaged the Nord Stream pipelines, speaking to Fox News.
“It’s a completely false story. There is no truth to it, Shannon,” Kirby told host Shannon Bream, when asked about an article by journalist Seymour Hersh alleging US involvement. “Not a shred of it. It is not true. The United States, and no proxies of the United States had anything to do with that, nothing.”
