Trump Signs Executive Orders Reviving Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipeline ProjectsTrump
has signed executive orders reviving those projects which will create more jobs.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday took steps to advance construction on two oil pipeline projects that have been fiercely disputed and were delayed under his predecessor, NBC News has confirmed.
Trump signed executive orders that will make it easier for TransCanada to construct the Keystone XL pipeline and for Energy Transfer Partners to build the final uncompleted portion of the Dakota Access pipeline.
The Keystone XL would bring oil from Alberta, Canada, to Nebraska, where it would connect to an existing pipeline to bring the crude to Illinois. Former President Barack Obama refused to approve the cross-border project, saying the environmental review was not adequate in light of its route through the Sandhills ecosystem in Nebraska.

President Donald Trump intends to sign
two executive actions Tuesday that would advance construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Keystone was rejected under former President Barack Obama. Trump's move on Energy Transfer Partners LP's 1,172-mile Dakota Access project aims to end a standoff that has stalled the $3.8 billion project since September, when the Obama administration halted work on land near Lake Oahe in North Dakota.
The moves, taken on Trump’s fourth full day in office, mark a major departure from the Obama administration’s handling of the controversial oil pipelines. The steps vividly illustrate Trump's plan to give the oil industry more freedom to expand infrastructure and ease transportation bottlenecks.
