President Trump issued an executive order on Friday to push the Keystone XL pipeline forward, hoping to short-circuit litigation on the project and get it off the ground.
The executive order acts as an approval of the pipeline, which supersedes Trump’s original approval of the project that he issued shortly after taking office in 2017. That order has been the subject of legal wrangling, and it was most recently bogged down by a U.S. court decision blocking construction until a new environmental impact statement could be conducted. Trump’s new order is intended to work around that ruling.
TransCanada welcomed the decision, with CEO Ross Girling saying that Trump “has been clear that he wants to create jobs and advance U.S. energy security and the Keystone XL pipeline does both of those things”. The pipeline company said the executive order “clarifies the national importance of Keystone XL and aims to bring more than 10 years of environmental review to closure.”
