(Adnkronos) – US President Donald Trump has said he is ready to resume the Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport oil from Canada to the United States. On Truth Social, Trump asked the company building the pipeline to return to the United States. ”The Trump Administration is very different. Easy approvals, almost immediate start” he said. “If not them, maybe another pipeline company. We want the Keystone XL pipeline built,” he added.
The pipeline, first proposed in 2008, would carry crude oil from Alberta, Canada, to Nebraska in the US Midwest, where it would connect existing pipelines to the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River. The project was opposed by environmental groups and Native American tribes, it was rejected by then US President Barack Obama in 2015.
