WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 (Yonhap) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that South Korea is investing US$50 billion in a massive liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Alaska as part of an investment agreement with Washington, despite uncertainty over Seoul's participation.

"This 50 Billion Dollar Infrastructure Investment from The Republic of Korea is part of their Trade and Investment Deal with me," Trump wrote on Truth Social, while describing his visit to Alaska for a campaign rally on Tuesday.

The remarks were the latest from the Trump administration claiming that South Korea is committed in the Alaska LNG project. Seoul has maintained that its participation remains subject to a commercial viability review.

Trump also said that Taiwan has agreed to invest $4.4 billion in equity into the project, calling it the "greatest project in Alaska history."

White House Press Secretary Katie Zachariah also said Tuesday that $54 billion was tied to the Alaska LNG project as part of a South Korean energy investment package.

"President Trump also unveiled a South Korea energy investment package of up to $200 billion in the United States. This is an amazing deal. This includes as much as $120 billion to build eight large-scale nuclear power plants," Zachariah said.

"In addition to that, there is $54 billion tied to the Alaska LNG pipeline and terminal to service the Pacific Rim and sell fuel to our allies as well as $22.3 billion for a 6-gigawatt natural gas power facility in Texas," she added.

华盛顿，10 月 14 日（韩联社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周三表示，尽管首尔是否会参与该项目尚不明朗，但作为与华盛顿达成的投资协议的一部分，韩国正在向阿拉斯加的一个大型液化天然气 (LNG) 项目投资 500 亿美元。

“韩国这项价值 500 亿美元的基础设施投资是他们与我达成的贸易和投资协议的一部分，”特朗普在 Truth Social 上写道，同时描述了他周二在阿拉斯加参加竞选集会的行程。

特朗普政府再次声称韩国致力于阿拉斯加液化天然气项目，而韩国方面则坚持表示，其参与该项目仍需经过商业可行性评估。

特朗普还表示，台湾已同意向该项目投资 44 亿美元的股权，称其为“阿拉斯加历史上最伟大的项目”。

白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚周二也表示，作为韩国能源投资计划的一部分，阿拉斯加液化天然气项目获得了 540 亿美元的资金。

“特朗普总统还公布了一项总额高达2000亿美元的韩国能源投资计划，这将对美国产生巨大的经济效益。这是一项惊人的交易。其中包括高达1200亿美元用于建设八座大型核电站，”扎卡里亚说道。

她补充说：“除此之外，还有 540 亿美元与阿拉斯加液化天然气管道和终端项目相关，该项目将服务于环太平洋地区并向我们的盟友出售燃料；此外，还有 223 亿美元用于在德克萨斯州建设一座 6 吉瓦的天然气发电厂。”
