Biden campaign said he would rescind Keystone Pipeline permit if elected
WASHINGTON – Joe Biden's presidential campaign said Monday that if he were elected to the White House, he would rescind the Keystone XL Pipeline permit.
The Keystone XL pipeline proposal was initially rejected in 2015 by the Obama administration, which included Biden as vice president, but approved two years later by the Trump administration. Rescinding the permit for the pipeline allowing it to cross the border into the United States would effectively kill the project.
Stef Feldman, the Biden's campaign policy director, told the USA TODAY in a statement that “Biden strongly opposed the Keystone pipeline in the last administration, stood alongside President Obama and Secretary Kerry to reject it in 2015, and will proudly stand in the Roosevelt Room again as President and stop it for good by rescinding the Keystone XL pipeline permit.”
"Stopping Keystone was the right decision then and it’s still the right decision now," Feldman continued, while also blasting President Donald Trump for withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement and gutting environmental regulations.
