Donald Trump's stock in Dakota Access oil pipeline raises concerns - CBS News

WASHINGTON -- President-elect Donald Trump holds stock in the company building the disputed Dakota Access oil pipeline, and pipeline opponents warn that Trump’s investments could affect any decision he makes on the $3.8 billion project as president.

Trump’s 2016 federal disclosure forms show he owned between $15,000 and $50,000 in stock in Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners. That’s down from between $500,000 and $1 million a year earlier.

Trump also owns between $100,000 and $250,000 in Phillips 66, which has a one-quarter share of Dakota Access.

While Trump’s stake in the pipeline company is modest compared with his other assets, ethics experts say it’s among dozens of potential conflicts that could be resolved by placing his investments in a blind trust, a step Trump has resiste

Does this mean that ANYONE who has an IRA, 401K, mutual fund or any other kind of retirement plan that invests in companies can't be President?

Lol, serious people, I do not like Trump, did not vote for him, cannot stand him, but this is scrapping the bottom of the barrel for something.

His investment is trivial, it amounts to nothing relative to his wealth. If it becomes a concern, he just sells his investment.

Despite the delays and hype, the pipeline has already been approved.

"they must divest themselves."

Has Pelosi divested herself from her and her husbands businesses? Or Fienstein, etc?

Again you make claims and when challenged to back them up you NEVER do.

So her is your LAST chance to regain any credibility you think you might have.

Show us ANYTHING that requires, "they must divest themselves".
