President Trump signed five more executive actions Tuesday in a blitz of executive power meant to speed approvals of high-profile energy projects like the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines.
In reversing the Obama administration policy to disapprove the Keystone pipeline, Trump emphasized that the construction isn't a done deal. "It's something that subject to a renegotiation of terms by us," he said. "We'll see if we can get the pipeline built. A lot of jobs, 28,000 jobs."
Keystone XL is a proposed 1,179-mile cross-border pipeline from Alberta to Nebraska that became a lightning rod for Obama's energy policy, with the administration taking seven years to make a decision before ultimately killing it over environmental concerns.

Again, and again, and again. Don’t slow down for 8 years until Pres. Pence or Pres. Ivanka Trump take over.

I must admit that I can see where at some point it might get a bit taxing, but I’m not yet tired of winning.
THANK YOU, President Trump! Keep up the GREAT work!

I can just hear the Emperial March from Star Wars playing in liberals minds and see the steam coming from Palpentines ramp lowering shoots out their ears today.
Witness the power of a fully operational Trump Star libbies!
I don't even like star wars - I do like the music though.

More good news. The regulators need to be reeled in and President Trump is the right guy to do it.

The FORMER POTUS was NEVER going to approve that pipeline. He was just dithering until the deadline past which no dithering was possible. Ditherer-in-Chief (DIC) that he is, was.

"This is the expediting of environmental reviews and approvals for high-priority infrastructure projects," Trump said. "We cant be in an environmental process for 15 years if a bridge is falling down."Finally, some common sense.
