"Trump Takes Action to Revive Keystone, Dakota Pipelines"

"WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump took steps Tuesday to revive two controversial oil pipeline projects that had been rejected by the Obama administration, moves that likely represent the leading edge of a sweeping overhaul of his predecessor’s environmental agenda.

Mr. Trump accompanied his actions on the Keystone XL and Dakota Access projects with broader directives that aim to ease regulations on infrastructure projects and American manufacturing, and he ordered his team to craft a plan to maximize the use of American-made materials in U.S. pipelines.

The actions were part of a flurry of activity in Mr. Trump’s first few days intended to set a pro-business tone that would contrast with former President Barack Obama and possibly with Congress."
