South Korea's $200B US Investment Plan Revives Alaska LNG↩︎
🛢️ Commodity Sep 29, 4:49 PM EDT 30/21
President Donald Trump will detail on Wednesday a commitment from Seoul to provide a large wave of funding for American energy and industrial infrastructure. The deal involves a $200B total investment in the US, including $54B allocated to a long-stalled venture to export liquefied natural gas from Alaska, according to Bloomberg and other sources.
The announcement coincides with political headwinds facing Trump during the midterm election cycle. The plan has sparked a debate over the final destination of the gas, specifically whether the resource will benefit domestic US consumers or be primarily exported to markets in Japan and South Korea.
