Media: US Invites Officials from Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan to Alaska for Project Discussion
According to sources cited by Reuters, the US has invited officials from Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan to Alaska to discuss projects including the construction of a $44 billion large-scale natural gas pipeline.
The report stated: "The US has invited officials from Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan to Alaska to discuss related projects, which include the construction of a large-scale natural gas pipeline."
According to sources, the meeting is scheduled for June 2nd. The natural gas pipeline is valued at $44 billion.
In January this year, Reuters reported that Japan was assessing the possibility of participating in the construction of the $44 billion Alaska natural gas pipeline to prevent potential trade disputes with the US. This natural gas pipeline will connect the natural gas fields in northern Alaska with southern ports; liquefied natural gas will be transported to the Asian consumer market after being processed at the port. However, according to sources cited by Reuters, due to the current price situation in the natural gas market, Japanese authorities doubt the feasibility of the project.
