"The idea that the United States was in any way involved in the apparent sabotage of these pipelines is preposterous. It is nothing more than a function of Russian disinformation," Price said during a press briefing.Price also declined to comment on reports that the CIA had weeks ago warned Germany about possible attacks on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines."I'm not in a position to speak to any intelligence or any intelligence that may have been passed to Germany or any other ally," he told reporters.A German government spokesperson has declined to comment on activities of foreign intelligence agencies.Earlier on Wednesday, the Russian Mission to the United Nations requested a meeting of the UN Security Council regarding the pipeline incidents and the meeting will be held on Friday afternoon.
