The US government is planning to reopen oil and gas reserves in protected lands in the state of Alaska. According to President Trump, the reserves from these reserves could meet demand from across Asia.
"I'll probably do it with an executive order because they didn't get it through Congress," he said.
„I think it'll happen quickly, because it can meet demand for all of Asia because of its location. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge could supply all of Asia,“ Trump added.
“This is the largest deposit, potentially the largest in the world, bigger than Saudi Arabia,“ the US president said. "And the first thing the Biden administration did was to end the extraction of oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, the largest, perhaps the most powerful deposit in the world," he stressed.
The Biden administration has restricted the awarding of oil and gas contracts in Alaska, including exploration and drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
During his election campaign, Trump repeatedly stated that if he wins, he will seek the energy dominance of the United States in the world, which implies increasing energy production in the United States and increasing the country's share of world exports.
