Energy experts discuss after the Canadian Prime Minister said she wanted to talk about Keystone Pipeline 2.0 with Trump

The prime minister of the key oil region in Canada is open to conversations with President Donald Trump on re -opening Keystone Pipelinewhich, in the opinion of experts, could strengthen energy security and accessibility.

Danielle Smith, Prime Minister Alberta in Canada, said Tuesday that she was interested in talking to Trump administration On the potential re -opening of the Keystone XL oil system – a system designed to transfer oil from Albert to US to countries such as Illinois, Texas and Oklahome.

The pipeline was at the center of political discussions since the project began to build in 2010, eventually stopped by former President Barack Obama before it was completed. Trump revived him during his first term, but 2021. Former President Joe Biden blocked the project again.

Trump could continue construction during his second term, with the help of Smith, who said she wanted to talk about potential cross -border pipelines, Washington Free Beacon reports.

“What I would suggest is – are there any ways we can consider an increase in access to the pipeline, maybe some new routes or maybe some new proposals on existing routes?” Smith said the exit. “So, regardless of whether it is Keystone 2.0 or something else, I look forward to starting those conversations seriously after the Minister of the Interior is passing an oath.” Trump chose Governor Doug Burgum, RN.D., to run the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the United States, but the Senate has not yet confirmed it.

The White House did not respond to Fox News Digidal for comment. However this week Trump gave up Biden’s executive order who reset the oil permit, which is a move that could reopen the potential construction of the oil system.

“Restarting Keystone XL oil is in line with President Trump’s plan to reduce food and energy cost by strengthening North American energy infrastructure and reducing dependence on imports of imports,” said Jason Isaac, Executive Director of the US Energy Institute (AEI), for Fox News Digital .

“Oil ability to transport heavy sour raw oil, rich in sulfur, will support the production of affordable fertilizers, a key input for agriculture, which will ultimately reduce food production costs,” Isaac said. “In addition, increased raw oil supply will stabilize fuel prices, reducing transport and energy costs that significantly affect food prices. This project strengthens energy security, stimulates economic growth and directly contributes to the energy and food more accessible to American families.”

Another expert said Trump is likely to face a lawsuit if he decides to continue the construction of a pipeline, but that Congress could help limit legal actions.

“Trump’s administration will no doubt give the necessary permits to complete Keystone XL, but there will surely be court disputes,” Fox Steve Milloy, a senior associate of the Law Institute of Energy and the Environment and a former member of the Trump, EPA transition team Digital. “The trick will be to limit the litigation so that the investors are not scared. Congress could help the process so that it ordered the pipeline to be completed and limited the litigation.”
