U.S. says it is working with Canada on permitting for proposed partial Keystone XL revival

The Trump administration is working with Canada on permits required for a proposed revival of part of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, a White House official said on Tuesday.
The pipeline, proposed by Canadian pipeline company South Bow and its U.S. partner Bridger Pipeline, could increase Canada’s crude exports to the U.S. by more than 12 per cent if it goes ahead.
The Keystone XL project, which was canceled by the administration of former U.S. president Joe Biden, is fully permitted on the Canadian side, but a presidential permit would be needed for the pipeline to cross the Canada-U.S. border. State regulatory permits would also be required.
“The president’s entire energy team has been working diligently with our partners in Canada to work through the permitting process,” the official said.
The proposed project was one of the topics Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson said he and Canada’s ambassador to the U.S., Mark Wiseman, discussed with U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum during a meeting in Houston on Monday.
Canada is framing the prospect of a new cross-border oil pipeline as a way it can help the U.S. achieve energy security even as the war in Iran disrupts supplies and raises prices for consumers, Hodgson said in an interview on Tuesday at the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said the U.S. was talking with a “respected” Iranian leader and claimed the Islamic Republic was eager for a deal to end the war. He also extended a deadline for Iran to reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz or face attacks on its power plants, saying it has an additional five days.
