Trump Signs Executive Order on Oil Pipelines

Описание: (24 Jan 2017) President Donald Trump continued his efforts in moving on executive actions during his first days in office on Tuesday.
Trump signed orders to advance construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines.
Former President Barack Obama killed the proposed Keystone XL pipeline in late 2015, declaring it would have undercut U.S. efforts to clinch a global climate change deal that was a centerpiece of his environmental legacy.
The pipeline would run from Canada to U.S. refineries in the Gulf Coast. The U.S. government needed to approve the pipeline because it crossed the border.
The Army decided last year to explore alternate routes for the Dakota pipeline after the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and its supporters said the pipeline threatened drinking water and Native American cultural sites.
