The Trump Administration will approve the Keystone XL oil Pipeline by Monday, reversing one of former President Obama's most politically charged Environmental decisions, according to two sources with knowledge of the plan.

The move by the State Department comes 16 months after Obama blocked construction of the 1,200-mile Pipeline, which would ship Crude from Canada's Western Oil-Sands Region to Refineries on the Gulf Coast.

The Pipeline became the subject of a major Lobbying efforts by both Oil industry supporters and Environmental groups, which turned the project into the focus of their Climate Change Campaigns.

Undersecretary for Political Affairs Tom Shannon plans to sign the Pipeline's Cross-Border Permit on or before Monday, the last day for the 60-day timeline that President Trump ordered in January.

Secretary of State and former Exxon Mobil Chief Executive Rex Tillerson recused himself from the process.
