Ex-White House adviser favors Keystone XL

摘要

Washington—US President Barack Obama’s first national security adviser said December 16 that the White House’s inaction on the Keystone XL pipeline harms the country’s security and could foreshadow its declining global leadership. Jim Jones, a retired Marine Corps general, was the top White House adviser for national security issues from January 2009 to October 2010. His comments came the same day Republicans in Congress picked up steam in their attempt to enact legislation forcing a decision on Keystone.
