<\/a>The tribe and its supporters believe the pipeline threatens drinking water and cultural sites. Pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners disputes the claims.<\/p>\nPipeline construction has stalled amid a court fight between ETP and the Army Corps of Engineers over permission for the pipeline to cross under a reservoir near the reservation.<\/p>\n
Groups representing manufacturers and laborers are praising President Donald Trump’s executive actions to advance construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines.<\/p>\n
Groups including the MAIN Coalition, National Manufacturers Association, The Building Trades and the Laborers’ International Union of North America are calling Tuesday’s orders a victory for workers and consumers.<\/p>\n
National Manufacturers Association CEO Jay Timmons says it’s decisive leadership by Trump “to get American energy infrastructure moving forward.” Building Trades President James Callahan says it helps fulfill a Trump campaign promise to create middle-class jobs.<\/p>\n
Association of Oil Pipe Lines CEO Andrew Black says the two pipelines also will help the goal of “plentiful, affordable energy” for consumers.<\/p>\n
North Dakota Petroleum Council President Ron Ness also touts “energy and economic security.”<\/p>\n
Trump signed the executive orders on Tuesday, drawing strong backlash from environmentalists and other opponents.<\/p>\n
Environmental groups are promising to fight executive actions by President Donald Trump to advance construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines.<\/p>\n
The groups speaking out include the Sierra Club, Indigenous Environmental Network, Bold Alliance, Environmental Defense Canada and Natural Resources Defense Council.<\/p>\n
Dallas Goldtooth is an organizer with Indigenous Environmental Network. He calls Trump’s actions “nothing short of attacks on our ancestral homelands.” He says it could again ignite protests against the Dakota Access pipeline, though he says to what degree isn’t known.<\/p>\n
Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault (AR’-sham-boh) says the pipeline was unfairly rerouted toward the Standing Rock reservation without the tribe’s consent. He says the pipeline route “risks infringing on our treaty rights, contaminating our water and the water of 17 million Americans downstream.”<\/span><\/p>\nSierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune says Trump’s actions will create “a wall of resistance and defiance the likes of which the president has never imagined.”<\/p>\n
Bill McKibben with the group 350.org calls Trump “a con man” and says his actions will be fought “in the courts and in the streets.”<\/p>\n
