Trump Pushes Keystone XL Revival Amid Energy Debate

President Donald Trump has announced his intention to revive the Keystone XL Pipeline project, which was halted by the Biden administration in 2021. Trump criticized the previous administration for canceling the project and promised that under his leadership, approvals would be easier, potentially leading to an immediate start. The pipeline, originally developed by TC Energy, now known as South Bow, was set to transport 830,000 barrels of crude oil daily from Canada to the U.S., creating thousands of jobs. Despite Trump's invitation, South Bow has shown little interest in resuming the project due to previous legal and regulatory challenges. Trump’s push for the pipeline ties into his broader agenda to lower energy costs and increase domestic energy production. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt backed the revival, framing it as a solution to high energy prices in regions like New England.
