WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden plans to rescind a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline expansion on his first day in the White House, transition documents suggest.
The documents, seen by The Canadian Press, feature a to-do list dated Wednesday that includes signing an executive order to revoke the construction permit granted by predecessor Donald Trump.
“Roll back Trump enviro actions via EO (including rescind Keystone XL pipeline permit),” the document reads.
Campaign officials promised in May that if elected, Biden would cancel the $8-billion cross-border project, but the timeline was never clear until now.
