UK 'READY' FOR MORE RUSSIA SANCTIONS

The U.S. House of Representatives has voted in favor of constructing the Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry crude oil from Canada to American refineries.

Environmentalists oppose the Keystone XL pipeline, and some First Nations / Native American groups do not want the pipeline to cross their reservations, while the energy sector says it will create thousands of new jobs and keep energy prices low.

The U.S. State Department would only say that its review of the proposed pipeline and its impact is ongoing, referring any further questions to the White House.
