Republican President Donald Trump expressed his support on Monday for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, a project long resisted by environmental activists concerned about climate change.
Originally proposed in 2008, the pipeline was designed to transport crude oil from Canada’s western tar sands to refineries in the United States. However, it was ultimately shelved in 2021 when TC Energy Corp, the company behind the project, ceased operations after Democrat former President Joe Biden rescinded a crucial permit required for its U.S. segment.
“Our Country’s doing really well, and today, I was just thinking, that the company building the Keystone XL Pipeline that was viciously jettisoned by the incompetent Biden Administration should come back to America, and get it built — NOW! I know they were treated very badly by Sleepy Joe Biden, but the Trump Administration is very different — Easy approvals, almost immediate start! If not them, perhaps another Pipeline Company. We want the Keystone XL Pipeline built!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
