Fox News reporter Peter Doocy questioned Jen Psaki from the White House Press Office a series of times on Wednesday. He asked her if she thought President Joe Biden would consider resuming construction on Keystone XL Pipeline.
The exchange took place during the White House’s daily briefing.
Doocy: Is a restart for the Keystone XL Construction completely out of the question as long as Joe Biden remains president?
Psaki: Let’s talk about what it would do for you.
Doocy says: I’m asking if that is possible. All options available, you guys. pic.twitter.com/i4JInd97dz

Psaki dodges question about reopening Keystone Pipeline.
With gas prices rising in the U.S. as the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues, Doocy asked Psaki three times for a simple “yes or no” answer over whether domestic oil production could be increased by restarting construction on the Keystone Pipeline, bringing oil from Canada into the U.S.
Doocy said, “Quick yes or no, because there’s a lot of grey area here: Is a restart of the the Keystone XL construction completely off the table as long as Joe Biden is president?”
Psaki asked her question instead of answering.

“Well, why don’t you tell me what that would help address?” Psaki replied.
Doocy responded, “I’m asking you if it is an option. Your guys have all the options. Is restarting Keystone construction one of them?”
Psaki: If we try to increase supply it does not solve any problem.
Doocy: “Is supply from Canada, a friendly ally, instead of Saudi Arabia –”
Psaki: “That — that’s…we’re already getting that oil…The pipeline is just a delivery mechanism[.]” pic.twitter.com/OWpJR5Cvxg

Doocy Keeps Pressing Her on Keystone Pipeline Construction
Psaki claimed that restarting Keystone Construction would not address the present problems of Americans with spiking gasoline prices.
“If we’re trying to bring about more supply, that does not address any problem,” Psaki claimed.
“It’s supply from Canada, a friendly ally, instead of Saudi Arabia,” Doocy shot back.
“That — that’s already — we’re already getting that oil, Peter,” Psaki continued. “The pipeline is just a delivery mechanism, it is not an oilfield. The pipeline does not bring more oil into the system. It does not address…”
Doocy then interjected, “Is it possible that Joe Biden will ever say, ‘You guys can go ahead with construction of Keystone XL?”
Doocy – “Is Joe Biden going to ever say that you guys can continue with Keystone XL construction?”

Psaki dodged the question – again.
“There’s no plans for that and it would not address any of the problems we’re have currently,” she replied.
