South Korea says it hasn't committed to Alaska LNG, and they say Trump's announcement of more than $50 billion in Korean investment in the gas pipeline "went beyond what was agreed." The sticking point is the same as it's always been: Commercial viability. alaskapublic.org/news/politic...

Trump claims South Korea will invest $50B in Alaska gas pipeline. Not so fast, Korean officials say
The South Korean trade minister said Trump's announcement "went beyond what was agreed" and denied that the country had committed to investing in the Alaska LNG project.

Good morning. The #akleg committee working on the gas pipeline tax bill, HB 381, is out w/ a new draft ahead of a final vote. The draft includes the controversial corporate tax change covering pass-through entities in the oil and gas industry -- but it exempts income from Alaska LNG from the tax.
