Alaska political leaders on Wednesday broadly welcomed President Donald Trump’s remarks to Congress talking up the prospects of the state’s long-sought but faltering natural gas pipeline. In his speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, the president said, “It will be truly spectacular. It’s all set to go.”

Japan, South Korea, and other countries express interest in partnering with the U.S. on a massive natural gas pipeline in Alaska, with potential investments of trillions of dollars. Discussions are underway as countries seek to secure energy supplies and address trade deficits.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday touted his administration’s work on a proposed Alaska pipeline, underscoring his push to invigorate a long-stalled $44 billion project to transport natural gas across the state and export it overseas.
