I do believe it was reapproved under Trumps administration, & I’m no Trump fanboy either. TC Energy had ditched most of its pipeline assets in the Dakotas after Obama.

November 2015, the State Department under President Barack Obama (D) denied TransCanada a permit to approve the pipeline.[1]

On March 24, 2017, the U.S. State Department under President Donald Trump (R) issued a presidential permit approving the Keystone XL pipeline. Trump signed an executive order in January to expedite final approval of the pipeline within 60 days. In the executive order, Trump also invited TransCanada, the pipeline's owner, to resubmit its application for a permit. On January 26, 2017, TransCanada resubmitted its application for approval.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

In November 2017, the Nebraska Public Service Commission voted 3-2 to approve construction of a portion of the Keystone XL pipeline in Nebraska, though the commission rejected TransCanada's preferred route for the pipeline.

On November 9, 2018, U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris blocked the permit issued by the Trump administration. Morris ruled that a supplemental environmental review had to be completed before the construction could proceed.[8]

On January 20, 2021, President Joe Biden (D) signed an executive order which revoked the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline.

OK, so we are saying the same thing aren’t we? Obama shut it down, TransCanada moved its pipeline assets out’a the Dakota’s, Trump reapproved the Project, TC is once bitten twice shy, & for good reason ‘cuz Biden’s first day in office he shut it down again.

Then here we are with Keystone still shut down & Biden sucking up to Venezuela and Iraq & grateful that the Saudi Arabians are even accepting his phone calls at this point.

XL forces a long term deal when all they are looking for is a couple tankers of Vaseline to fuck Canada even harder.

Point I was making was that it made no difference who was in the oval office and TCPL knew that.

Well at least this will send the message that we can retaliate against white and brown people now.

Initial imagery via Rudaw shows damage to a compound house ~0.5km from the K24 TV Studio damaged in last nights attack on #Erbil. The impact location is still unclear. The house compound sits just over 1km new US Consulate compound which is under construction.
