WASHINGTON—Joe Biden’s campaign promised on Monday to rip up U.S. President Donald Trump’s approvals for the Keystone XL pipeline if the former vice−president succeeds in taking over the White House next year.

Campaign officials finally ended the presumptive Democrat nominee’s months of self-imposed silence on how he would handle the politically sensitive expansion project, an ambitious, 1,900-kilometre heavy-oil line that would move 830,000 barrels of Alberta bitumen each day over the Canada−U.S. border to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
