Montreal, Canada – Opponents of the contentious Keystone XL pipeline are welcoming United States President Joe Biden’s decision to nix the multibillion-dollar project, saying the move provides a “sense of vindication” in their years-long fight.
Matthew Campbell, a staff lawyer at the Native American Rights Fund, which has represented Indigenous groups in lawsuits against the project, said the move recognises “that the tribes will be heavily impacted by the pipeline and so it should not be approved”.
Just hours after he was inaugurated, Biden cancelled his predecessor President Donald Trump’s approval of Keystone XL, a 1,947km (1,210 mile) pipeline that was set to stretch from the Canadian province of Alberta to the US state of Nebraska.
Four Native American tribes doubled down on their request for a D.C. federal court to shut down the Dakota Access pipeline during a court-ordered environmental review, telling the court their interests are harmed every day the pipeline is allowed to operate without the proper approvals.
