McConnell asks Trump to approve Keystone pipeline
By Timothy Cama - 11/11/16 03:56 PM EST
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) asked President-elect Donald Trump to prioritize approving the Keystone XL pipeline at their Thursday meeting.
McConnell told reporters Friday that Keystone was one of the top priorities that he asked Trump to take on quickly when he comes into the White House Jan. 20, along with repealing regulations that the Kentucky Republican says constitute a “war on coal.”
“One thing I do hope he’ll do, that I recommended yesterday that won’t surprise any of you, and that is approve the Keystone pipeline,” McConnell said at a news conference in Louisville, Ky.
“Talk about anxiety about jobs,” McConnell said of President Obama’s years-long refusal to weigh in on the oil pipeline project, and eventual decision a year ago to reject it.
