Do you even know what infrastructure is?

A pipeline, regardless of its purpose is by definition  "infrastructure".

And this one would indeed be mostly located " in the US".

The people employed building it would be Americans.

The companies operating the refineries are mostly American owned and all  
of them employ Americans.

Basic stuff, simple stuff.
