flag Trump officials visit Alaska to promote oil drilling and gas projects in the Arctic.

The Trump administration sent three Cabinet members to Alaska to discuss oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and reviving a stalled natural gas project. The visit follows Trump's executive order to boost oil and gas drilling, mining, and logging in Alaska. Officials will meet with resource groups and U.S. senators and visit the Prudhoe Bay oil field. The trip aims to leverage tariff talks with Asian countries for investments in the proposed 810-mile gas pipeline that would export liquefied natural gas. Environmentalists criticize the focus on fossil fuels.
