WASHINGTON—Canada won’t stop trying to convince Joe Biden of the merits of Keystone XL, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insisted Tuesday, despite reports the U.S. president-elect appears poised to sign the pipeline project’s death warrant.

Trudeau shrugged off media reports that Biden intends to revoke the cross-border project’s presidential permit as early as Wednesday, the day he takes the oath of office and moves into the White House.
