Trump: US needs 'better deal' before approving Keystone 10/15
Trump, campaigning as an economic nationalist, said he wants the pipeline approved. But he said TransCanada should not be allowed to send Canadian oil through American land—“through farmland and through cities and wherever the hell they’re going” — without paying a hefty price. “When they do this pipeline, it’s going to be a very profitable thing and it’s really Canada oil coming down — so it’s not — I like Canada, I want these people to be happy, but I want the developers of the pipeline to give the United States a big, big chunk of the profits or even ownership rights, like I do in business. That’s what I do,” he said. The Toronto Star 1/24/16
Every one of the 30 articles I found from 8/15 to present had the same message. I am going to approve the pipeline but America is going to get a hefty ~25% share of the profits and American oil is a cleaner oil/tar sands vs conventional crude.
“Why should we let them build this massive pipeline, using our power of eminent domain, go through all these farms and through farmland and through cities…?” Trump asked. Des Moines Register 1/24/16
