US says it is working with Canada on permitting for proposed partial Keystone XL revival - Reuters

The U.S. government is coordinating with Canada on permitting requirements for a partial revival of the Keystone XL pipeline project. The original Keystone XL was designed to transport crude oil from Alberta to Nebraska but faced years of opposition from environmental groups and was ultimately canceled during the Biden administration. A renewed push for partial construction suggests the Trump administration is pursuing energy infrastructure projects as part of its broader agenda to increase domestic energy production and reduce reliance on foreign oil. The permitting process will require alignment between U.S. and Canadian regulatory authorities, as the pipeline crosses the international border. Such approval could reshape North American energy supply chains and signal a shift in the administration's approach to major infrastructure disputes that previously stalled the project.
