United States Vice President JD Vance said on Monday afternoon that the Alaska liquefied Natural Gas pipeline will proceed, despite commercial hurdles raised by South Korea over a $200B investment package. Vance's remarks follow President Donald Trump's announcement last week regarding Seoul's planned funding for major American energy projects. Seoul officials emphasized that commercial viability remains a core prerequisite before capital commitments are finalized.
