The Keystone XL oil pipeline does not need to be made from US steel, despite an executive order by President Donald Trump days after he took office requiring domestic steel in new pipelines, the White House said on Friday.
“It’s specific to new pipelines or those that are being repaired,” White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders told reporters on Air Force One, when asked about a report by Politico that Keystone would not need to use US steel, despite Trump’s executive order issued on January 24.
