US President Donald Trump has issued a Presidential Permit approving the construction of TransCanada’s long-delayed $8-billion Keystone XL (KXL) pipeline on Friday.
“TransCanada will finally be allowed to complete this long overdue project with efficiency and with speed. We’re working out the final details as we speak. It’s a great day for American jobs and a historic moment for North American and energy independence,” Trump said in the White House’s Oval Office, flanked by TransCanada president Russ Girling.
