Trump pushes South Korea to fund $54 billion Alaska LNG project

Donald Trump is pressing South Korea to invest $54 billion in an Alaska liquefied natural gas project, renewing attention on the venture. The project would cost more than twice as much as a comparable U.S. Gulf Coast plant, raising questions about its economic viability and the terms Washington is seeking from Seoul.
