Trump Threatens Trade Retaliation Over Alaska LNG Project Dispute

US President Donald Trump has threatened to take further action against South Korea if it doesn't commit to investing in an Alaska liquefied natural gas (LNG) project. The $54 billion plan was announced earlier this week as part of Seoul's pledge to invest in the US, but the South Korean government has since clarified that its commitment is contingent on the project's economic viability.

The threat comes after Trump made a public statement about the deal, which was meant to be a key component of the two countries' trade agreement. However, the South Korean government has yet to confirm its involvement in the project, citing concerns over its financial feasibility.
