You might want to review post #26 in this thread, OBAMMA signed off on the pipeline. Even directed his administration to cut through the red tape to get it done.
Yes let's financially punish the people constructing the pipeline because Obamma didn't think to specify that us steel would be used in the construction of the project, and they can pass it down to us in the cost of our fuel, good plan Einstein.

You must have a very different interpretation of the meaning in English of "signed off". It means gives final approval. It does not mean I think it is a good idea and will move it along subject to the required reviews. And in that same speech you only partly quoted President Obama said this :
"So what we’ve said to the company is, we’re happy to review future permits. And today, we’re making this new pipeline from Cushing to the Gulf a priority. So the southern leg of it we’re making a priority, and we’re going to go ahead and get that done. The northern portion of it we’re going to have to review properly to make sure that the health and safety of the American people are protected. That’s common sense."
And while that sounds like "signed off" to you, it does not to most people with ability to read and understand everyday English. And it is this Northern portion that is the topic of Trump's actions. The pipeline that Obama expedited was finished in 2015. So are you ready to withdraw your ill informed comment in #26 that you felt I needed to read? It is wrong.
