A former Keystone XL pipeline worker says President Joe Biden’s energy policies are the real cause of rising fuel prices and that the war in Ukraine “has nothing to do with” it.

Neal Crabtree, a welder who lost his job when Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, said that the energy industry “tried to warn” the Biden administration that opposing new oil and gas projects would jeopardize American energy independence and national security.

“We tried to warn this administration back when they canceled the Keystone pipeline” that it was also “canceling national security, foreign policy and energy,” Crabtree told Fox News in an interview Tuesday.
