President Joe Biden took swift action after stepping into office to unravel former President Donald Trump s oil legacy.
As part of a sweeping executive order Wednesday, the president revoked a key permit for the Keystone XL pipeline. The same day his administration issued a temporary ban on oil and gas leasing on federal land.

The Lead
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he will continue to press Canada’s case for the Keystone XL pipeline project with the incoming Biden administration. Biden plans to rescind the presidential permit allowing cross-border construction of the pipeline as one of his first acts in office.
“We’ve had a clear and consistent position supporting this project for years. Our government is making sure that Canada’s views are heard and considered by the incoming administration at the highest levels,” Trudeau said during a news briefing yesterday in front of his home at Rideau Cottage.
