Trump Reportedly Plans to Revive Keystone XL Pipeline on First Day in Office

The project, canceled by Biden in 2021, is seen by Trump as key to energy independence and job creation, though logistical and legal hurdles remain.

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly planning to restart the Keystone XL pipeline project immediately upon taking office, according to sources close to his transition team.
The 1,200-mile pipeline, intended to transport crude oil from Canada to Nebraska, was canceled by President Joe Biden in 2021 over environmental concerns.
Reviving the pipeline would align with Trump’s energy independence agenda and is expected to create thousands of jobs in the U.S. and Canada, though new permits and materials would be required due to previous dismantling efforts.
Critics argue Biden’s decision to halt the project contributed to higher energy costs, while proponents claim its revival could lower fuel prices and enhance North American energy security.
The pipeline’s revival faces logistical and political challenges, including land acquisition and opposition from environmental groups and some landowners.
