President Donald Trump issued a bold directive on Tuesday, demanding the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline—revoked by President Joe Biden in 2021—vowing to unleash American energy dominance, per a Breitbart report. Speaking at a Mar-a-Lago energy summit, Trump promised streamlined permits and American steel mandates, citing the project’s potential to create 42,100 jobs and boost the economy, per a 2014 State Department estimate. For conservatives, this is a triumphant return to energy independence, proving Trump’s America First agenda will reverse Biden’s green disaster and prioritize jobs.

Trump’s announcement, detailed by Reuters on February 25, targets the $9 billion pipeline to transport 830,000 barrels of Canadian oil daily from Alberta to Nebraska, connecting to Gulf Coast refineries. He pledged “easy regulatory approvals” and insisted on U.S.-made steel, per his January 2025 executive order on infrastructure, reversing Biden’s January 20, 2021, permit cancellation that halted the project, per AP News.

“This pipeline will bring jobs, energy security, and lower costs for Americans,” Trump said. “Biden killed it to appease radicals—now we’re building it back, stronger and faster, with American workers at the forefront.”

The 2014 State Department report projected 3,900 construction jobs and 42,100 indirect jobs, contributing $3.4 billion to GDP, while environmentalists, per BBC News, opposed it for carbon emissions from Alberta’s tar sands. Trump dismissed those concerns, per Fox News, vowing to prioritize energy over “green agendas that cost jobs.”

This move follows Trump’s January border policies, slashing illegal crossings over 90%, per Border Patrol data, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gitmo deportations, per her “Hannity” remarks.

“We have hundreds of thousands of criminals that were let illegally into this country,” Noem said. “That means they have criminal records. They’ve perpetuated crimes in this country.”

Posts on X cheered—one user wrote, “Keystone XL’s back—Trump’s unleashing energy and jobs.” Another added, “Biden’s green lunacy ends here—America first!”

Republicans see this as a lifeline. Biden’s open borders and green policies let 8.5 million illegal immigrants cross, per CBP, while deficits pushed the national debt past $35 trillion, per Treasury data. Trump’s January 20 “emergency price relief” memo, Title 42 revival, and DOGE’s $55 billion cuts signal the fix—secure borders, boost energy, and prioritize Americans. The pipeline aligns with last week’s Texas Colony Ridge raids, nabbing 118 criminals, per Breitbart, showing law enforcement focus.

The left’s crying foul, with Senate Democrats and environmentalists calling it “reckless” and vowing lawsuits, per a Monday AP report. Too bad—conservatives see this as progress for jobs, not risk. Legal challenges loom, with over 70 suits targeting Trump’s moves—like a Tuesday block on Education records—but Republicans aren’t deterred. With Congress pushing reconciliation and FBI Director Kash Patel releasing Epstein files, the GOP’s ready to back Trump’s vision, ensuring America’s energy grid thrives, as voters demanded in 2024.

Keystone XL’s revival faces hurdles, per Fox News. TC Energy, the Canadian owner, spun off its oil pipeline business to South Bow Energy in 2024, per Reuters, and may hesitate without federal guarantees after Biden’s 2021 cancellation cost billions, per AP. Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, per CNN, promised “full support” to rebuild confidence, but environmental opposition, per BBC, remains fierce. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ February DOGE task force and USDA Secretary Brooke L. Rollins’ SNAP crackdown show the state-federal alignment. With DHS troops at the border and Noem’s raids, conservatives are ready to defend this revival, ensuring American energy leads the world.

This revival is a powerful victory for America, restoring jobs and energy security after Biden’s costly mistakes.
