Keystone Pipeline Won't Use US Steel Despite Trump Pledge


PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The Keystone XL oil pipeline won't use American steel in its construction, despite what President Donald Trump says.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday that's due to language in a presidential directive Trump issued in January. The directive applies to new pipelines or those under repair. Sanders said it would be hard to do an about-face on Keystone because it's already under construction and the steel has been acquired.

Trump said as recently as last week that Keystone and the Dakota Access pipeline must use American steel "or we're not building one."

Trump used his executive powers shortly after taking office to greenlight the two pipeline projects that had been blocked by President Barack Obama.

The Keystone pipeline would run from Canada to refineries in the Gulf Coast. The Dakota Access line would move North Dakota oil to Illinois, and that project is nearly complete.

Seems to me he tried, but since the other steel has already been acquired, his hands were tied on this.

If, he could change that, then, yes, he broke his promise.

I bet dollars to donuts that you never once said Obama lied when he broke a promise. You know I am right.

Hack.

There was no promise broken.....if the steel pre-existed the EO that opened it back up to completion it would be more than TAX PAYER wasteful to toss it aside and not use it. Its most illogical to assume that a promise can be retroactive . Funny as hell but consider the source, an emotionally LEFT BRAINED simpleton that never considers logic and reason before acting upon the feeling of hatred. :) Its who they are, its what they do....a snake can be nothing other than a snake, it can lie and pretend its something other but in the end it crawls on its belly looking for an opportunity to inject its venom.

Trump's cock must be incredibly sore after all of the dicksucking you do. Take a break and eat the corn out of his shit for awhile. Then you can return to your regular routine.

I am positive Zappas will be along shortly to admonish you about avoiding the thread topic and resorting to petty personal attacks.



















NOT
























Zappas approves of your petty personal attacks.
 
And now we know WHY Trump lied about using American steel in construction of the Keystone Pipeline!

Once again it's all about putting money ahead of country for Trump.


Trump Reverses Pledge To Mandate U.S. Steel For Keystone Pipeline. A Direct Beneficiary Is A Russian Oligarch With Close Ties To Vladimir Putin


After green lighting the continuation of the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline in an executive order January 24th, President Trump declared as recently as last week that the pipeline had to use American made steel “or we’re not building one.”

But on Friday, Trump spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced that the directive would apply only to new pipelines or those currently undergoing repair.

That sharp reversal now paves the way for the use of a stockpile of steel manufactured in Canada by a subsidiary of Evraz, a company in which Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich owns nearly a one/third stake.

Abramovich, estimated to be worth $8.9 billion, who ranks No. 151 on Forbes list of the 500 wealthiest people in the world, has longstanding personal and political ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom President Trump has repeatedly praised.

The connection between the oligarch and the steel already produced for the pipeline was first reported by Desmogblog.com, a Canadian website TIME Magazine named to its list of “25 best blogs of 2011.”

According to the report:

40 percent of the steel created so far was manufactured in Canada by a subsidiary of Evraz, a company 31-percent owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, who is a close ally of Putin and a Trump family friend. Evraz has also actively lobbied against provisions which would mandate that Keystone XL’s steel be made in the U.S.

Abramovich is described in the 2004 book Abramovich: The Billionaire from Nowhere by British journalists Dominic Midgley and Chris Hutchins as ‘one of the prime movers behind the establishment of the only political party that was prepared to offer its undiluted support to Putin when he fought his first presidential election in late 1999. When Putin needed a shadowy force to act against his enemies behind the scenes, it was Abramovich whom he could rely on to prove a willing co-conspirator.’

The fact is:

TRUMP LIED when he said he'd use AMERICAN STEEL to build the pipeline.

EOS.

Sadly, Partisan Trumpkins like Yo Yo won't hold Trump accountable for his many lies.

But I'm betting that you ignore this and try to tell the board that this is about Trumps lies, not Obamas, right?

I'm right, Zappas avoided answering another question, thus proving I'm right about his hypocrisy.

From the OP:

Trump said as recently as last week that Keystone and the Dakota Access pipeline must use American steel "or we're not building one."

"...or we're NOT building one"

But BOTH pipelines ARE being built.

Trump lied.

Most of us have been doing that for years. If trump is moving his lips, he's lying. I don't see how he could make that promise, as Canada is building the pipeline.
