>"But the Trump administration is making a very noticeable “flip-flop” exception to the rule — the Keystone XL Pipeline.

The pipeline is considered by the Trump administration to be “grandfathered” in. “The Keystone XL pipeline is currently in the process of being constructed, so it does not count as a new, retrofitted, repaired or expanded pipeline,” a spokesperson with the White House told Politico.

Trump signed an executive order in January ordering the Commerce Department to develop a plan that would “use materials and equipment produced in the United States” for all new and retrofitted pipelines being constructed. But that plan has its limits: it only requires the Commerce Department to do so “to the maximum extent possible and to the extent permitted by law,” leaving a lot of wiggle-room for the administration to justify not buying American-made products to make or repair new pipelines."<

1. Anything dump does is for the appalause and the moment

Later on the burn comes on, every fucking time without fail. You had to know that they already had contracts for that pipe years ago, Chinese pipe and fittings. This was a nothing but bad theatre for fox news. Shitty bad theater meant as lies.

4. I give him a pass on this one, but fail for now knowing that

some of the pipes were already purchased and sitting in cananda. making them buy new pipes would be a waste.
