Trump Revives Push for Keystone XL Pipeline, but Challenges Loom

Former President Trump calls for the Keystone XL pipeline's revival, but regulatory, financial, and logistical hurdles complicate its feasibility.

Donald Trump reiterated his desire to revive the Keystone XL pipeline, promising streamlined approvals if re-elected.
The Keystone XL project was previously canceled in 2021 by President Biden, despite significant progress and investment by TC Energy.
TC Energy no longer owns the pipeline's remnants, having spun off the assets and repurposed materials, complicating any potential restart.
Canada faces its own pipeline challenges, with political and regulatory hurdles deterring private companies from pursuing new projects.
Experts highlight that both U.S. and Canadian pipeline projects face opposition from environmental groups, lengthy permitting processes, and uncertain political cycles.
