Secretary of State John Kerry said he wants to make a decision on the controversial Keystone XL pipeline “sooner rather than later.” Kerry’s comments came after a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Tuesday. Kerry said the pipeline, which would carry crude oil from Alberta to Gulf refineries, “of course” came up during their talk.
“I certainly want to do it sooner rather than later, but I can’t tell you a precise date,” Kerry said, referencing the recommendation he must ultimately send to the president on the pipeline.
