    South Korean President Lee pushes back on Alaska LNG project after Trump touts Seoul's participation

    South Korea's President Lee Jae Myung pushed back on Trump's announcement of a $50 billion Alaska LNG investment, clarifying that South Korean participation depends on commercial viability and legal compliance. The broader $200 billion South Korean investment package includes nuclear power plants and a natural gas facility in Texas, but Lee emphasized that involvement in individual projects remains subject to financial assessment.
