Keystone Pipeline

U.S. issues new permit for Keystone pipeline

Mar 29, 2019 | 6:51 PM

U-S President Donald Trump has issued a new permit allowing construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, two years after he first approved the long-stalled project.

Trump says the new permit is intended speed up development of the controversial pipeline, which would ship crude oil from Alberta through Saskatchewan to the U-S Gulf Coast.

A federal judge blocked the project in November.

It is not clear when the pipeline work will actually begin.
