Trump officials are visiting Alaska to discuss a gas pipeline and oil drilling
- In early June 2025, three senior officials from President Trump's Cabinet will visit Alaska to advocate for expanding oil extraction and advancing a stalled natural gas pipeline initiative.
- This visit follows an executive order signed earlier in 2025 aimed at boosting oil, gas, mining, and logging in Alaska amid tariff talks with Asian countries.
- The officials intend to travel to the Prudhoe Bay oil field and participate in Governor Mike Dunleavy's energy conference in Anchorage as they seek backing for pipeline projects.
- The roughly 810-mile pipeline would carry North Slope natural gas to a facility exporting liquefied natural gas to Asian countries, with Trump citing potential investments of trillions from Japan and South Korea.
- The visit signals renewed federal and local efforts to expand resource development despite environmental opposition and ongoing disputes over oil leases and revenues from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
