(MENAFN) Two firms behind a controversial oil pipeline in the US have accused the White House of political interference for failing to approve its completion.
The US Army said it would not authorise the final section of the Dakota Access Pipeline to allow alternative routes to be considered.
The decision is a win for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe who have protested against the pipeline for months.
But the next US president, Donald Trump, says he supports the project.
