US State Department issues long-awaited permit for Keystone XL pipeline

Posted on March 24, 2017 at 3:53 pm.

The US Department of State issued a presidential permit for the
proposed Keystone XL crude oil pipeline more than 8 years after sponsor
TransCanada Corp. originally sought cross-border approval of the
project. Under-Secretary for Political Affairs Thomas A. Shannon Jr.
signed the permit after President Donald J. Trump reversed his
predecessor Barack Obama’s decision and said the project would be in the
US national interest.
