What happened
President Trump will unveil plans for South Korea to invest approximately $54 billion in a project to export natural gas from Alaska, a proposal backed by Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan. This investment is part of a 2025 trade deal with South Korea that included promises of $350 billion in U.S. investments. The announcement is the second time this week that Trump has highlighted foreign investments in states with tight Senate races, following a similar announcement in Iowa on Monday.
