I don't know which wise one you're addressing, but the EO says 'new, retrofit, repair', etc.
I can see how the Keystone project falls into gray area.
But, I don't believe President Trump always meant to exempt it. I think he didn't know about inventory, previous administration negotiations, and supplier contracts before he pushed that EO through.
The reason I think that is because Donald Trump told me so back on February 23rd. I listened to him tell a room full of steel CEOs that they're gonna be busy since he (Trump) greenlighted the Keystone and Dakota Pipelines which must be built with only U.S. steel.
I found a video of that meeting; it's at the link and President Trump makes the statement I cited within the first 30 seconds. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/23/trump-key...steel.html
