Carney Pitched Trump on Energy Alliance, Including Keystone XL

2 comments

1. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with President Donald Trump to advocate for deeper cooperation on energy matters, notably the potential revival of the Keystone XL pipeline project. This discussion aimed to facilitate negotiations regarding the 50% tariffs imposed by the U.S. on Canadian steel and aluminum imports. During the two-hour meeting at the White House, Carney also highlighted other areas of energy collaboration, such as electricity exports and uranium production for nuclear power, which Trump seemed open to tying to tariff discussions. Despite the ongoing dialogue, a clear timeline for reaching an agreement remains uncertain, though Carney’s office indicated that both sides would work towards a resolution in the upcoming weeks. The Keystone XL project’s past approvals and subsequent rejections underscore its contentious nature, with Canadian officials like Pierre Poilievre signaling party support for Carney’s efforts to advance the project.

2. I believe that trump could be convinced that a foreign company using large contractors to build a pipeline to sell oil to overseas countries is somehow creating American jobs and “unleashing American energy”.
