Ed O'Keefe Presses Trump On Foreign Granite In WH Projects
"We're putting magnificent new granite, charcoal, black granite, against the white, beautiful white walls, and we've stripped all of the paint off. We had 200 years of paint, and we've redone it, and it's beautiful."
"Granite is rated as, this particular granite, at over a million year life. As an example, concrete gets rated for about 200 years if you get very high grade. Can you imagine, nature produces something better than you can make?"
"Well, it came from Italy, it was carved in Italy, it came from another location. You know where the location is? Africa. So you have African and Italian granite outside the Oval Office?"
President Trump discussed the ongoing renovations at the White House, highlighting the addition of granite to enhance its beauty. He described the granite as charcoal black, contrasting with the white walls, and noted the extensive removal of old paint. Trump emphasized the granite's longevity, stating it has a life expectancy of over a million years, far surpassing concrete. He confirmed that the granite originated from Italy and was carved there, with additional sourcing from Africa, prompting questions about the implications of using foreign materials in U.S. government projects.
