President-elect Donald Trump is planning another “day one” initiative that will no doubt send waves of outrage through Democrat ranks or, at least, the farthest left among the party. That’s because Trump intends to revive the Keystone XL oil pipeline on his first day in office, according to a Politico report citing three individuals close to the Trump transition team.
Trump has consistently pledged to reauthorize the project as part of his campaign commitment to reduce energy costs for Americans and boost domestic oil production after Biden signed an executive order on his first day in office canceling the project, which took more than a decade to get underway. He is also planning a series of day-one executive orders aimed at advancing these energy goals.
