Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday said his administration was “disappointed” with President Joe Biden’s decision to revoke the permit for construction on the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
The 1,700-mile pipeline was planned to carry roughly 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta to the Texas Gulf Coast, passing through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
“While we welcome the President’s commitment to fight climate change, we are disappointed but acknowledge the President’s decision to fulfill his election campaign promise on Keystone XL,” read Trudeau’s statement, released just hours after Biden was officially sworn-in as the U.S.’ 46th president.
The move was part of the Biden administration’s broader goal to crack down on fossil fuels. The new president is expected to direct sweeping environmental regulatory changes over the next four years and reverse some Trump-era deregulatory policies in an effort to tackle climate change.
The controversial Keystone XL pipeline initially proposed more than a decade ago, would sustain about 11,000 U.S. jobs in 2021 and generate $1.6 billion in gross wages.

And it’s going to get far worse.
It is not about the environment it is about crashing the us economy..
How did he not know Biden would do this? He must pay no attention to his briefings.
Justin, don’t be an idiot. Just sent him some $$$$$
I thought they started building. Can’t stop so easily, contracts and all.
They don’t pay for it. We buy their gasoline.
Joe is just doing his part to make sure that oil goes to China, you tool Justine.
Warren Buffet railroad cars it is then. Just like for the last +30 years. Warren Buffet, the monster Democratic party donor (for a very good reason). Not that any of this has any connections or anything </sarc>
I heard Biden say he would stop the pipeline.
Buffett owns BNSF Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad
Govt credit card, so it’s irrelevant.
