Nope.

Just more lies for gullible Trumpists from the GP about the Keystone XL pipeline.

The oil was destined for the export market.

"Keystone Pipeline Economic Facts

Will the pipeline create jobs?
The oil industry lobbied hard to get KXL built by using false claims, political arm-twisting, and big bucks. When TC Energy said the pipeline would create nearly 119,000 jobs, a State Department report instead concluded the project would require fewer than 2,000 two-year construction jobs and that the number of full-time, permanent jobs would hover around 35 after construction.Furthermore, we know that ambitious action on climate change—including investments in green energy alternatives—carries huge potential for job creation.

Will the pipeline lower gas prices?
Dirty energy lobbyists claimed developing tar sands would protect our national energy security and bring U.S. fuel prices down.

But NRDC and its partners found the majority of Keystone XL oil would have been sent to markets overseas (aided by a 2015 reversal of a ban on crude oil exports)—and could have even led to higher prices at U.S. pumps."
