Keystone XL Pipeline Back on the Table?

President Trump has long supported a direct line from Alberta’s oil fields to the Midwest.

ALBERTA, Can. (RFD-TV) — Trade talks between the United States and Canada have been front and center, with recent discussions in Washington centered on steel, aluminum, and energy. Officials say there are signs the Keystone XL pipeline could be back on the table.

President Donald Trump has long supported a direct line from Alberta’s oil fields to the Midwest. Energy analyst Richard Masson says while it might help ease tensions, any pipeline progress would take time.

The Keystone XL project has a long history; it was proposed under George W. Bush, but cancelled by the Obama Administration. President Trump revived it in his first term, and the Biden Administration cancelled the plans again on day one. At that point, the developers said they were done for good.
