Trump Signs Executive Actions Allowing Energy Pipelines

President Trump issued two new executive actions today to advance major infrastructure projects that idled for years under the Obama administration’s anti-energy agenda.

Trump, speaking for the second consecutive day from the Oval Office, added a caveat, however. He said both approvals, a major win for congressional Republicans, are “subject to terms and conditions that will be negotiated by us.”

GOP lawmakers were eager to applaud the move.

“It’s about time,” House Speaker Paul D. Ryan said in a statement. “The unfortunate reality is that these important infrastructure projects were used by special interests to advance their radical anti-energy agenda and were, therefore, needlessly halted by the last administration — to the detriment of America’s national interest. These pipelines will strengthen our nation’s energy supply and help keep energy costs low for American families.”

House Republicans are committed to tackling the complex challenges facing our country and growing our economy.

Stand with the Republican majority and back their efforts to make America more energy independent.
