Your paraphrase is nothing but. It should read :"We want it built, we need the research to proceed, you guys don't seem to want it built, so we'll build it alone (or with whatever partners we can find)"

Btw, it is no wonder the project is going nowhere as the US need Europe dependent on fossile fuels. It's all about control.

I'm afraid I will let you down on the constitution thing. It is really a domestic issue for the US. Not my business.
