"President Donald Trump on Monday moved to reverse a Biden-era decision that blocked a mining road in Alaska, which faces fierce opposition among tribes and environmental groups."
"President Donald Trump on Monday ordered federal agencies to advance a 211-mile-long mining road in Alaska to tap into mineral deposits, a project that’s been at the center of a decadeslong regulatory and legal fight.
“It’s a very, very big deal from the standpoint of minerals and energy,” said Trump.
Standing next to Trump in the Oval Office, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said construction on the gravel road will begin next spring and that the Department of Defense is poised to announce funding for a company angling to produce minerals from the region. The road will be jointly owned by the state, federal government and Native Alaskan villages, he said."
