In news that will shock no one, Donald Trump has put his support behind the Dakota Access Pipeline, proving once again that his administration will not be a friend to Native Americans.
Trump has major financial interest in completing the pipeline regardless of the desires of the Native Americans.
Despite the United States diminishing reliance on fossil fuels, Trump and his investors stand to gain huge profits by underwriting fossil fuel industries.
