The fossil fuel industry says it is ready to stand with President Trump in future legal brawls challenging pipeline projects that environmentalists have promised to work tooth and nail to stop.

Last week, Trump sent a signal to the industry that the White House’s resistance to new pipeline projects, and indeed some old ones, left with former President Barack Obama. In signing several presidential memos, Trump reignited the approval processes for the Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipelines, both of which Obama thought he either killed or delayed before leaving office.
