"Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney raised the prospect of reviving the contentious Keystone XL pipeline project with U.S. President Donald Trump during his White House visit this week, a government official familiar with the matter said Wednesday. A Canadian company pulled the plug on it four years ago after the Canadian government failed to persuade then-President Joe Biden to reverse his cancellation of its permit on the day he took office."
"It was to transport crude from the oil sand fields of western Canada to Steele City, Nebraska. Trump previously revived the long-delayed project during his first term after it had stalled under the Obama administration. It would have moved up to 830,000 barrels (35 million gallons) of crude daily, connecting in Nebraska to other pipelines that feed oil refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast."
"The Canadian government official said Trump was receptive to the idea when it was talked about during their White House meeting Wednesday. The official said Carney linked energy cooperation to Canada's steel and aluminum sectors, which are subject to 50% U.S. tariffs. The official spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter."
Mark Carney raised reviving the Keystone XL pipeline with U.S. President Donald Trump during a White House meeting. A Canadian company abandoned the project four years earlier after Ottawa failed to persuade President Joe Biden to reverse his permit cancellation on his first day in office. The pipeline would have carried crude from western Canada oil sands to Steele City, Nebraska, moving up to 830,000 barrels daily to Gulf Coast refineries. Trump was reported receptive, and Carney linked energy cooperation to Canadian steel and aluminum sectors facing 50% U.S. tariffs. Biden canceled the border-crossing permit in 2021 over climate concerns. South Bow Corp. said it is not privy to the talks but supports exploring corridor opportunities to increase Canadian crude transportation.
