Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Says Taiwan Agrees to Buy 30% of Alaska LNG Supply
Caption: Trump Says Taiwan Agrees to Buy 30% of Alaska LNG Supply. President Donald Trump says Taiwan agreed to purchase 30 percent of liquefied natural gas from Alaska. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Taiwan also committed $4.4 billion to support development of the pipeline. Taiwan's government has not confirmed a final agreement, saying its priority is strengthening energy supply resilience. Taiwan previously pledged to increase purchases of American natural gas and reduce imports from other countries. State energy company CPC signed agreements last year to buy LNG and invest in Alaska project. If completed, Alaska LNG could export up to 20 million tons of gas annually to Asia. The project still needs additional binding sales agreements to secure financing before construction can move forward. Trump previously said South Korea would invest in the pipeline, though Seoul later questioned that commitment. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
