"Republican lawmakers and energy groups have long accused blue states of blocking pipeline projects using a section of the Clean Water Act," NPR's Nathan Rott reports for our Newscast unit. "One of Trump's executive orders will aim to weaken that power. Whether that actually happens will remain to be seen. Executive orders only do so much — and lawsuits are sure to follow."

If the executive orders are successful it will add more American oil to the market which is already at record levels and may cause an oversupply on the world stage which in turn will pressure the oil price.
