Trump demanded the resumption of construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline in Canada

The President USA Donald Trump has demanded the resumption of construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline in Canada despite the developer's rejection of the project. The head of state posted the corresponding post on February 25 on the Truth Social network.

"The company building the Keystone XL pipeline, which was meanly thrown overboard by the incompetent administration of [former US President Joe] Biden, must return to America and build it — NOW!" he wrote.

According to Trump, the former White House administration headed by Joe Biden "mistreated" the organization involved in construction. He assured that the current government is ready for "easy approvals and almost immediate start" of work.

The American leader added that if the developer refuses, the Pipeline Company can take over the project

According to the agency Bloomberg, Keystone XL was supposed to transport oil from Canadian sands to Nebraska. The project was rejected by former US President Barack Obama in 2015.
