When the phone call came on June 30 notifying him that President Donald Trump had just signed a presidential permit authorizing his “little LLC from Texas” to build a cross-border pipeline in Montana to import Canadian oil, it was no surprise to Mike Dubuisson and his partners at Junction Pipeline Co.

“We weren’t surprised—we were shocked,” he told The Epoch Times, recalling the early morning call from Marcus Lee, policy adviser at the State Department’s Bureau of Energy Resources.
