Trump has between $500,000 and $1M invested in Energy Transfer Partners, with a further $500,000 to $1M holding in Phillips 66, which will have a 25% stake in the Dakota Access project once completed. Additionally, the pipeline company's CEO has donated more than $100,000 to Trump's campaign. Jesse Coleman, Greenpeace researcher Trump has made clear his opposition to any restrictions on the development of oil, coal or gas. “We have roadblocks like you’ve never, ever seen – environmental blocks, structural blocks,” he said. “We are going to allow the Keystone pipeline and so many other things to move forwards. Tremendous numbers of jobs and good for our country.”
