The head of the U.S.’s largest federation of labor unions has criticized President Joe Biden’s move to revoke the Keystone XL Pipeline’s permit last month, which affected tens of thousands of jobs.

“I wish [Biden] hadn’t done that on the first day,” AFL–CIO President Richard Trumka said of the permit revocation.
