🇺🇸🇹🇼 Trump says Taiwan has committed up to $80 BILLION to buy American natural gas from Alaska.
He says Taiwan has agreed to purchase $70-80 billion worth of liquefied natural gas over the next 20 years, representing roughly 30% of the Alaska LNG pipeline’s planned capacity.
He also claims Taiwan will invest another $4.4 billion directly into the project.
Trump says the pipeline has secured ALL necessary federal permits and is ready to move forward.
If the commitments materialize, Alaska could become a major energy supplier to two of America’s most important Asian partners.

What is the strategic logic behind the Houthis’ increasingly high-risk confrontation with Saudi Arabia? “Their experience in the past is that threats pay,” explains Dr. Elizabeth Kendall, Middle East specialist and President of Girton College, University of Cambridge. Dr. Kendall argues that the movement’s increasingly audacious military operations are not merely expressions of ideological hostility or Iranian influence, but calculated instruments of political coercion aimed at securing legitimacy, expanding territorial control and strengthening its negotiating leverage.

An Iranian sanctioned tanker spent 73 hours nearly stationary off Muscat, near several critical undersea cables, despite carrying no cargo.
The area includes the Oman Australia Cable, a roughly $300 million project reportedly funded in part by the Pentagon, with a connection to the strategically important Diego Garcia military base.
10 days later, a senior Iranian official warned that regional undersea cables could be targeted.
Was this reconnaissance ahead of a potential attack on critical communications infrastructure?Windward (@WindwardAI)Windward tracked an OFAC-sanctioned tanker slow from 11kn to under 1kn exactly where three subsea cable corridors converge off Muscat (AAE-1, Bay of Bengal Gateway, and 2Africa). In ballast, no cargo, no reason to stop.
It drifted there 73 hours in calm seas, engine off, then left at 10-11kn. Its AIS destination flipped the moment it slowed, and briefly logged China mid-drift.
Ten days later, a senior Iranian official warned the region’s cables could be targeted if the war escalates.— https://x.com/WindwardAI/status/2110400270274331083
