The White House has no plans to shut down a disputed Great Lakes pipeline that brings some 500,000 barrels of crude oil from Canada into the U.S. each day, a spokeswoman said Nov. 9.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer ordered the Line 5 pipeline to be shut down last year.
She said the Calgary-based company that operates it, Enbridge, violated an easement granted decades ago to run a section along state-owned land below the straits of Mackinac.
Enbridge sued claiming the pipeline is a federal matter.
