The White House pledged to discuss a key pipeline that carries Canadian crude through Michigan with the northern neighbour, stressing the U.S. isn’t considering a shutdown of the conduit the state’s governor wants shuttered.
The Canadian and U.S. governments will “engage constructively” on the future of Enbridge Inc.’s Line 5 pipeline, the White House principle deputy press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, said at a briefing Tuesday.
“These negotiations and discussions between the two countries shouldn’t be viewed as as anything more than that, and certainly not an indicator that the U.S. government is considering shutdown,” she said. “That is something that we’re not going to do.”
