President Trump announced a $54 billion Alaska natural-gas export project and praised Sen. Dan Sullivan for his work on it. He also attacked another Alaska Senate candidate named Dan Sullivan, calling him a fraud and urging voters to back the candidate with the “S.”
Trump described the Alaska LNG project as part of a $200 billion South Korean investment in U.S. projects. He credited Sen. Dan Sullivan with helping get the deal done, and Sullivan said he had worked relentlessly on the project.
Trump then criticized Dan J. Sullivan, a Republican Senate candidate, alleging that Democrats put him on the ballot to create confusion. The article says Dan J. Sullivan has acknowledged voting Democratic in the past and denied being a Democratic plant; it also notes that efforts by some Alaska Republicans to remove him from the ballot had failed. Trump called him a fraud and urged voters to choose the candidate with the “S.”

10 OUTLETSDonald Trump announced plans for roughly $54 billion in South Korean investment in an Alaska natural-gas project long backed by Sen. Dan Sullivan. The proposed investment has not been finalized. Left-leaning outlets portray the announcement as presenting an early-stage proposal as a deal and as an effort to help Sullivan. Center outlets mostly place it in the context of Sullivan's competitive race, while noting uncertainty about the investment and, in some coverage, focusing on Trump's political pitch.
