President Trump is calling for the revival of the Keystone XL Pipeline project, which was scrapped by the Biden regime.
In a Truth Social Post, President Trump said that the company responsible for building the controversial pipeline “should come back to America, and get it built — NOW!”

Reuters reported:
Republican U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he wanted the Keystone XL Pipeline built and pledged easy regulatory approvals for the project, which was opposed for years by environmentalists before its permit was revoked by the Biden administration.The pipeline was first proposed in 2008 to bring oil from Canada’s Western tar sands to U.S. refiners and was halted in 2021 by then-owner TC Energy Corp after former Democratic President Joe Biden revoked a key permit needed for a U.S. stretch of the project.In a social media post on Monday, Trump urged the company that was building the pipeline to “come back to America,” saying his administration would offer easy approvals and an almost immediate start.“The Trump Administration is very different (from the Biden administration) – Easy approvals, almost immediate start! If not them, perhaps another Pipeline Company. We want the Keystone XL Pipeline built,” Trump said in the post.Trump’s post did not name a company and only referred to the one that was building the pipeline earlier.TC Energy spun off its oil pipeline business in October last year into a new company named South Bow Energy.
This is great news for President Trump’s goal of energy independence and restoring America’s greatness!
It would lower energy and food costs in America, including gas prices.
In fact, Commerce Secretary Lutnick says that the pipeline would reduce gas prices on the East Coast by half!

“The president issued an order to build a pipeline on the East Coast of New York called the Constitutional Pipeline.

The pipeline has been at the forefront of political debate since the project began construction in 2010, and was eventually halted by former President Barack Obama before it was finished. Trump revived it during his first term.However, former President Joe Biden ordered the pipeline cancelation via executive order on his first day in office in January 2021, leading to thousands of job losses.
TC Energy, the operator of the Keystone XL pipeline, ultimately gave up on the project in June 2021 as a result of Biden’s decision to cancel its federal permits.
Then, in 2023, a federal judge tossed a legal challenge from nearly two dozen states asking the court to reinstate the pipeline’s permits.
The pipeline had been scheduled to be completed in early 2023 and would transport an additional 830,000 barrels of crude oil from Canada to the U.S. through an existing pipeline network, according to TC Energy. It was also projected to create thousands of jobs, many of which would have been union jobs.
In December 2022, the Biden administration’s Department of Energy (DOE) published a report that said the Keystone XL project would have created between 16,149 and 59,000 jobs and would have had a positive economic impact of between $3.4 and $9.6 billion, citing various studies.
“Joe Biden’s action cost tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars and every American family is still paying more every day,” Daniel Turner, the founder and executive director of Power the Future, shared with Fox News Digital in a previous statement.
