Donald Trump Signs Order to Move Forward with Dakota Access Pipeline Construction, Twitter Reacts
Donald Trump has just announced that he has signed orders to move forward with the construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines.
The construction was originally halted by the Obama administration last year due to concerns surrounding the environment. Specifically, the construction of the pipeline would jeopardize the drinking water of the residents living there. The Sioux Tribe lives in that area and the construction could threaten their environmental and economic well-being.
The original purpose of the pipeline was to transport crude oil from domestic wells to American consumers.

We can't afford to build new pipelines that lock us into burning more fossil fuels. I will do everything I can to stop Keystone XL and DAPL.
