U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to revive the Keystone XL Pipeline, offering swift regulatory approvals. The project, initially proposed in 2008 to transport oil from Canada’s Alberta oil sands to U.S. refiners, was canceled in 2021 after President Joe Biden revoked its key permit.
Trump, in a social media post, urged the previous pipeline builder to reconsider, promising “easy approvals” and an “almost immediate start.” The original developer, TC Energy, halted the project following Biden’s decision and later spun off its oil pipeline business into South Bow Energy.
The Keystone XL pipeline was designed to carry 830,000 barrels per day of crude to Nebraska but faced years of opposition from environmentalists, Native American tribes, and landowners. Critics argued it would slow the U.S. transition to clean energy, while supporters cited economic and energy security benefits.
Trump had initially approved the project in 2017, but ongoing legal battles delayed progress. Biden, fulfilling a campaign promise, revoked its permit soon after taking office. Now, Trump is calling for a revival, potentially opening the door for another company to take on the project.
His renewed push for Keystone XL signals a stark contrast to Biden’s energy policies, emphasizing fossil fuel development over green energy initiatives. Whether the pipeline will be revived remains uncertain, but Trump’s promise has reignited the debate over its economic and environmental impact.
