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.

That cumulative number is now much higher. So this is the dramatic Empire Wind showdown. A small dolphin in court versus the world’s second-largest crane vessel at sea, dueling over giant pile driving.
