President Trump is once again stepping into the spotlight, calling for the resurrection of the Keystone XL Pipeline with an urgency that should make every American sit up and take notice. After President Biden decided to pull the plug on the project, which was intended to transport crude oil from Canada straight to U.S. refineries, the former president is making it clear that he believes it’s time for this project to rise from the ashes.
According to Trump, America thrived under his administration, and he finds it puzzling that the Keystone XL Pipeline was abandoned so unceremoniously by the current leadership. Instead of enjoying the prosperity that comes from domestic energy production, Americans are left to weather the storm of rising gas prices and dependence on foreign oil. It seems that in Trump’s mind, the pipeline is like a dark horse waiting for its moment to race again in the arena of American energy independence.
In a pointed statement on his Truth Social platform, Trump noted that the pipeline development should be expedited immediately. He lamented how the Biden Administration mishandled the situation, suggesting that they treated the project and its creators with utmost contempt. This decision to halt the pipeline is posited as a classic example of how “Sleepy Joe” prefers to gamble with American jobs and energy security, rather than support projects that promise growth and jobs for American workers.

Construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline was kicked off during Trump’s presidency, but like a bad horror movie character, the project found itself aborted as soon as Biden stepped into office. The critiques surrounding the environmental impact of the pipeline echo through the liberal halls, but those who favor the pipeline argue that no energy project is free of scrutiny, especially when the U.S. has the chance to reduce its reliance on foreign oil and bolster its economy.
Meanwhile, TC Energy, previously responsible for the project, has had to reassure everyone that they would handle the unfinished business with care. It is a shame that an opportunity for growth and better energy policy got derailed. The Keystone XL Pipeline could have been a shining example of smart energy investments that benefit the economy and the environment. Trump’s call for the pipeline’s revival is not just a return to traditional energy policies; it is a message to the American people that leadership matters, and the best way forward is to embrace the opportunities that this country has to offer.
