The U.S. president announced that Taiwan has agreed to buy 30% of a liquefied natural gas pipeline project in Alaska. Donald Trump announced the matter on Tuesday at a Republican Party gathering in Alaska.

Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, said Taiwan has committed to investing 4.4 billion dollars in the development of this pipeline.

Chou Jung-tai, Taiwan’s prime minister, in response to questions from reporters about Mr. Trump’s remarks, said the duty of the government is “to stabilize the entire energy supply chain and strengthen resilience, like any other government.”

Taiwan’s state oil company, on Esfand 14, 1403, signed an agreement with the Alaska Gas Pipeline Development company for the purchase of gas and investment, and the governor of Alaska reported the signing of a memorandum of understanding for an annual purchase of six million tons.
