okay. this is construction of pipeline in this country. we are, and i am, very insistent that if we re going to build pipelines in the united states, the pipes should be made in the united states. so unless there s difficulties with that, because companies are going to have to save europe, much pipeline is built from other countries, from now on we re going to start making pipeline in the united states. we build it in the united states, we build the pipelines, we want to build the pipes. going to put a lot of workers, a lot of skilled workers back to work.
i think it absolutely works. it s very simple to understand. he s telling a story, he s showing everybody. people get to be a part of it. i think it s very effective. the worst politicians are the ones who are great in person, great in private, but trump, the fact that he loves the limelight i think is more of a feature than a bust. i think we ve known for a while that he s good about the theater that encompasses politics. but the question is about the pipeline. he basically said, no pipeline unless it s u.s. steel. the keystone pipeline is foreign steel and foreign oil. i don t know if mr. trump knew th that, but these are facts that are going to come out. we also have the thing about imminent dplgain. the gop does not like ininnocent domain. so while he yes, delivered on the promise of signing on the dotted line on the dakota access pipeline and the keystone pipeline, there are some other things that have to happen before this actually goes through. i wonder what this means,
also, in terms of the protests of the dakota pipeline. because in the last few months of the obama administration, that was a big story. the very emotional demonstrations by native americans and allies. yeah. all going and stopping the construction or trying to stop the conruction of the dakota pipeline. i wonder if this now means there s going to be a reigniting of the activism and protests there. hard to imagine it wont. and what that will mean, and how it was very awkward and difficult for president obama to deal with it. he ultimately dealt with it because the army corps of engineers kind of overruled the people beneath them. and said, we re suspending this for now, but that was just kicking the can down the road. and whether it gets back into the culture war. part of their argument is that not only would this pipeline be damaging to the environment, but that it damages a culturally significant site. you imagine it s going to get
department, 180 days, six months, to maximize the use of u.s. steel, u.s.-made steel in the construction of those pipelines. so five big orders related to the pipelines. one of the issues is the trans-canada, the organization i was trying to push the keystone xl pipeline through, had withdrawn its application during the obama administration. you might remember that. and as yet, they have not, it is our understanding, resubmitted an application for that pipeline, so that is one of the things to be dealt with. in the meantime, here is the president and the oval office. this is, with regard to the construction of the keystone pipeline, something that has been in dispute, and is subject to a renegotiation of terms by us. we are going to renegotiate some of the terms, and if they d like we ll see if we can get that
okay. this is construction of pipelines in this country. we are, and i am, very insistent that if we re going to build pipelines in the united states, the pipes should be made in the united states. so, unless there is difficulty with that, because companies are going to have to ensure that much pipeline that is bought from other countries, from now on we are going to start making pipeline in the united states. we build it in the united states, we build the pipelines, we want to build the pipe. we are going to put a lot of workers, a lot of steelworkers, back to work.
