US Senate fails to pass Republican Senator Ted Cruz's bill to sanction Russia-Germany Nord Stream 2 pipeline, with some Democrats arguing the bill may risk ties with Europe

Senator Robert Menendez has won the support of many of his fellow Democrats, including President Joe Biden, for an alternative bill he introduced on Wednesday. She said Cruz's legislation would "drive a wedge" between the United States and its allies in Europe, particularly Germany, in a speech before the vote.
