Trump Revives Keystone XL Pipeline Proposal Despite Environmental Concerns

The U.S. President calls for expedited approvals to restart the controversial project halted by Biden in 2021.

  • Donald Trump announced plans to revive the Keystone XL pipeline, a project previously canceled by the Biden administration due to environmental concerns.
  • The proposed pipeline would extend 1,900 kilometers, transporting oil from Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf of Mexico in the United States.
  • Environmental groups and indigenous communities have long opposed the project, citing risks of oil spills and increased greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Trump criticized Biden's handling of the project and promised simplified approvals and a rapid start to construction under his administration.
  • The pipeline's original developers, TC Energy, abandoned the project in 2021, but Trump suggested other companies could take over if necessary.
