Amid soaring gas prices, Republicans in U.S. Congress bring up Keystone XL decision
Biden administration officials did not immediately respond Wednesday to questions about Canadian energy imports, which the White House is said to be anxious to increase to ease supply pressures that are largely the result of a North American ban on Russian energy.The White House has, however, shrugged off the notion that a different outcome on Keystone XL would have had any impact on the current price of gas — a message repeated Wednesday by Virginia Democrat Rep. Donald McEachin.
Neither point, however, has discouraged Republicans from using the project against Biden, especially with Canada and the U.S. both blocking imports of Russian oil, gas and coal as part of a broad and expanding suite of punishing economic sanctions in response to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. The Canadian Embassy in Washington responded to inquiries with a statement confirming only that Canada is hard at work with “international partners in Europe and around the world” to end the dependence of other countries on Russian energy.
