A briefing note shared by members of President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team purportedly contains the words “Rescind Keystone XL pipeline permit,” suggesting the incoming president will cancel the project via executive action, CBC reported citing anonymous sources. The Epoch Times hasn’t confirmed the claim.
