The Keystone XL oil pipeline won’t use American steel in its construction, despite what President Donald Trump says.
The language in the directive Mr. Trump issued in January applies to new pipelines or those under repair, said White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Friday.
It would be hard to do an about-face on Keystone because it is already under construction and the steel has been acquired, Ms. Sanders said.
Mr. Trump said as recently as last week that Keystone and the Dakota Access Pipeline must use U.S. steel “or we’re not building one.”
