Trump Announces $130 Billion in Alaska LNG Deals With Taiwan and South Korea
Read this in the Market Flux appPresident Trump announced a combined $130 billion in commitments to the Alaska LNG project on October 14, with Taiwan pledging between $70 billion and $80 billion in LNG purchases over 20 years and South Korea committing $50 billion in investment. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick secured the Taiwan offtake agreement, which also includes a $4.4 billion equity stake in the project, giving Taiwan 30% of the pipeline's capacity. Trump posted the announcement on Truth Social and stated that all necessary permits and authorizations for the project are already in place.
Taiwan's state-owned CPC Corp has been engaged in earlier-stage negotiations on the project, and Taiwanese officials cited progress in discussions following Trump's announcement. The precise terms of the Taiwan commitment were not immediately clarified by all parties. South Korea's involvement had also been the subject of prior pressure from Trump, who had warned Seoul it would face higher tariffs if it did not sign onto the deal.
