How will President Trump's actions affect the fight over the Keystone Pipeline? (Harold Frazier, Alleen Brown)
Description
On April 10, President Trump signed two executive orders meant to speed up the construction of pipelines like the Keystone XL (KXL) and other methods of transporting oil and natural gas across borders. For residents of the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, thousands of whom remain trapped after weeks of flooding caused by rising waters, the announcement was a slap in the face. Oglala Sioux Tribe Tribal Chair Julian Bear Runner told reporter Alleen Brown of The Intercept that Trump's latest executive orders felt "like being kicked while we’re down.” In this episode of TrumpWatch, Cheyenne River tribal chairman Harold Frazier joins Alleen and Jesse for a discussion of how the President's actions will affect indigenous people throughout the region .
