Trump announces Taiwan will purchase 30% of Alaska LNG pipeline output and invest $4.4 billion in the project.
President Trump announced at an Alaska rally on October 14, 2026, that Taiwan has agreed to buy 30% of natural gas produced by the proposed Alaska LNG pipeline and invest $4.4 billion in equity into the project. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, also present at the rally, confirmed the Taiwanese commitment. The project's overall funding remains in dispute, and the full deal terms were not immediately clear.
