Trump signs order authorizing Bridger's Canada-Wyoming crude pipeline
The permit could boost cross-border crude flows by more than 12% if the project is built and connected, analysts said.
- On Thursday, April 30, 2026, President Donald Trump signed an executive order authorizing Bridger Pipeline Expansion LLC to build and operate a cross-border pipeline segment transporting Canadian crude into Wyoming.
- The move marks a pivot from Trump's January 2025 remarks at the World Economic Forum, where he asserted the U.S. did not need Canadian oil and gas.
- Bridger Pipeline's project has capacity to move more than 1 million barrels per day, which analysts estimate could increase Canadian crude exports to the U.S. by more than 12 percent.
- White House staff secretary Will Scharf described the authorization as "a huge deal" for long-term energy dominance and security as Trump signed the order Thursday.
- U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer previously cautioned Canada against using energy resources as leverage during upcoming trade review discussions presented April 9.
