"On January 24, 2017, in his first week in office, President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum to revive both Keystone XL pipelines,
which "would transport more than 800,000 barrels [130,000 m3] per day of heavy crude" from Alberta to the Gulf Coast. On March 9, 2017, the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier of Alberta Rachel Notley attended North America's largest energy conference – CERAWeek in Houston, Texas.
An Angus Reed Institute poll published that week showed that 48% of Canadians supported the revival of the Keystone XL pipeline project"

Energy Transfer owns:
36.4% of the Dakota Access Pipeline and the Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline.
60% of the Bayou Bridge Pipeline,
50% of the Florida Gas Transmission pipeline,
100% of the Trunkline Pipeline,
100% of the Transwestern Pipeline,
100% of the Panhandle Eastern,
100% of the Sea Robin Pipeline, the Revolution Pipeline, the Mariner East pipelines, and
32.6% of the Rover pipeline.
As of 2022, it controlled 11,600 miles of pipelines and two storage facilities in the state of Texas.
In August 2017, Energy Transfer sued environmental groups Greenpeace USA, BankTrack and Earth First! under the Patriot Act.
Energy Transfer accused these activists of attempting to profit via eco-terrorism.
Banktrack responded that the case is a strategic lawsuit against public participation without merit, and that it is legal to inform the public and banks about projects that are with 'actual negative social, environmental and human rights impacts.'
In 2019 a federal court in North Dakota dismissed the racketeering and defamation lawsuit
filed by Energy Transfer Partners LP, the builder of the 1,000-mile Dakota Access Pipeline,
against Greenpeace USA, EarthFirst and BankTrack for their pipeline protests.
The lawsuit alleged Greenpeace USA misled the public with false claims about the Standing Rock Sioux tribes' sacred sites and the likelihood the pipeline would contaminate the Missouri River in North Dakota.
In contrast, a 2018 Greenpeace report said Energy Transfer pipelines and those owned by the company's subsidiaries "spilled over 500 times in the last decade"

"Sunoco ranked 39th among United States corporations in the value of World War II production contracts.
Sun expanded internationally following the war. Its first Canadian refinery was built in 1953 in Sarnia, Ontario, home to a burgeoning new petrochemical industry.
Sun established a facility at Venezuela's Lake Maracaibo in 1957, which produced
over a billion barrels (160,000,000 m3)
before the operation was nationalized in 1975."
"In 1967, Sun established its Great Canadian Oil Sands Limited facility in northern Alberta, Canada to access the estimated 300 billion barrels (48 km3) of extractable oil in the Athabasca oil sands.
In 1968, Sun Oil merged with Tulsa, Oklahoma–based Sunray DX Oil Company, which refined and marketed fuel under the DX brand in several midwestern states, and included several refineries.
Its Tulsa refinery was operated by Sun until its sale in June 2009 to Holly Corporation of Dallas. This move expanded Sun's marketing area into the mid–continent region.
Sun Oil continued marketing its petroleum products under both the Sunoco and DX brands through the 1970s and into the 1980s. In the late 1980s, Sun began rebranding DX stations in the Midwest to the Sunoco brand, but by the early 1990s, they pulled out of virtually all areas in the southeastern U.S. and west of the Mississippi, resulting in the closing and rebranding of service stations and jobbers to other brands in those areas, notably
Sinclair in Oklahoma and Kerr-McGee in Arkansas.
With increased diversification, Sun Oil Company was renamed Sun Company in 1976. In 1980, Sun acquired the U.S. oil and gas properties of Texas Pacific Oil Company, Inc., a subsidiary of The Seagram Company Ltd, for U.S.$2.3 billion – the second largest acquisition in U.S. history to that date.
On April 4, 1991,
Pennsylvania U.S. Senator H. John Heinz was killed when his airplane collided with a Sun Company helicopter in what is known as the Merion air disaster. Falling debris killed two children at the Merion Elementary School in the Lower Merion School District
In 2000,
Sunoco leaked 190,000 gallons of oil into the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum in Pennsylvania through a cracked pipe. Sunoco claimed their systems did not detect the leak; the leak was reported by a hiker in the Wildlife Refuge
In 2012, Dallas–based energy company Energy Transfer Partners purchased Sunoco.
Sunoco would subsequently move its corporate headquarters to Dallas in 2016.
"In January 2018, the company sold 1,030 retail stores to 7-Eleven and agreed to supply 2.2 billion gallons of fuel to 7–Eleven convenience stores annually for 15 years.
This included Sunoco's contract to the service plazas along the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Sunoco has exclusive deals as the fuel supplier at the travel plazas along the Ohio Turnpike, Pennsylvania Turnpike, New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, Atlantic City Expressway, Palisades Parkway, and Delaware Turnpike. "

"Trump Energy Secretary Rick Perry was the author of a text message sent to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows
the day after the 2020 election
pushing an "AGRESSIVE (sic) STRATEGY"

7-Eleven Rejects Takeover Bid From Big Canadian Chain
"Alimentation Couche-Tard operates more that 16,000 Couche-Tard and Circle K stores across North America and Europe. Seven & i sits atop a vast network of 85,000 stores, primarily in Asia and the United States. Couche-Tard’s takeover of Seven & i would have positioned it as
one of the world’s largest retail groups.
Seven & i said it believed the proposed buyout would trigger competition investigations from regulators
in the United States, where Couche-Tard and Seven & i are
the two largest operators of convenience stores."
