Summary
A Truth Social post showed Trump pulling the Keystone pipeline from the ground beside a tombstone reading “Buried by Biden,” tying the image to his claim the project could return.
A 3-day pause in planned 50% tariffs on Canada prompted that message, after Trump said the two countries had reached a deal pending final documents.
Trump wrote that the Keystone XL pipeline, which Biden shut down in January 2021, “may be awoken from the grave.”
TC Energy halted the project in 2021 after Biden’s order, while opponents cited climate risks and pipeline advocates said the cancellation cost 10,000 jobs and $2.2 billion in payroll.
The post extends Trump’s use of AI-generated political imagery and revives Keystone as a symbol linking trade, energy and jobs in his messaging against Biden.
