U.S. Chamber’s Donohue Comments on Presidential Veto of Keystone XL Pipeline Legislation

Press Release
February 24, 2015

WASHINGTON, D.C.— U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas J. Donohue released the following statement today after President Obama vetoed legislation that would have approved construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline: 

“By vetoing this legislation and continuing to delay a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline, it is becoming harder and harder to take President Obama’s commitment to job creation and energy security seriously. The lack of approval for Keystone has major implications for America’s relationship with Canada—our strongest and most reliable ally—and on the way America is perceived around the world. On behalf of job creators across the country, the Chamber will continue to push for Keystone’s approval.”
