Everybody laughed at the time, but they are not laughing anymore!) has been sabotaged. This could lead to major escalation, or war!" Trump insisted.
On Thursday, newspaper Svenska Dagbladet reported, citing a Swedish coast guard official, that a fourth gas leak had been found on the damaged Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines.
