A reason for the orders

I just finished reading Bob Woodward’s book “Peril.” In it, he tells us that on Biden’s first day in office, Biden signed executive orders. One was to shut down the Keystone XL pipeline and one was to stop building the border wall.

But he didn’t tell us why Biden signed these orders.

When the pipeline shut down, our oil was brought in by trucks and trains. This raised the cost of transporting from $1 a barrel to $3 a barrel. The trains and trucks are also harmful to our environment.

When our border is no longer being closed, we have more criminals and drugs coming in, which is hurting the citizens of our country.

I would like to know why Biden signed these two orders.
