WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 (Yonhap) -- The White House on Monday highlighted U.S. President Donald Trump's trade agreement with South Korea and a Alaska natural gas project involving Seoul among his fulfilled campaign promises, as it touted his achievements on the eve of the U.S. midterm elections.

In a press release highlighting policies promised and delivered during Trump's second term, the White House listed 127 campaign pledges it said the president had fulfilled.

Among them, the administration cited South Korea as one of the major U.S. trading partners with which Trump had secured new or improved trade agreements by using tariffs as leverage.

It said the agreements covered countries accounting for more than half of global gross domestic product (GDP), including South Korea, Japan, China, the European Union and Britain.

The White House also highlighted what it described as a US$54 billion agreement with South Korea and Taiwan to develop a "long-stalled natural gas pipeline in Alaska."

The statement was the latest from the Trump administration claiming that South Korea is committed to the Alaska natural gas project. Seoul has maintained that its participation remains subject to a commercial viability review.

On shipbuilding, the White House said Trump had signed an executive order aimed at restoring U.S. maritime dominance and established a new office at the National Security Council to strengthen the country's shipbuilding industry.

It, however, did not specifically mention South Korean shipbuilders in connection with those efforts.

Last year, South Korea announced a plan to enhance its shipbuilding ties with the U.S. under an initiative dubbed "Make American Shipbuilding Great Again" as part of its tariff deal with the Washington.

华盛顿，11月2日（韩联社）——周一，白宫在美中选举前夕大力宣传美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的政绩，并重点介绍了特朗普与韩国达成的贸易协议以及首尔参与的阿拉斯加天然气项目，称这些是他竞选承诺的兑现之处。

白宫在一份新闻稿中重点介绍了特朗普第二任期内承诺并兑现的政策，列出了127项竞选承诺，称总统已经履行了这些承诺。

其中，美国政府将韩国列为美国的主要贸易伙伴之一，特朗普曾利用关税作为筹码，与韩国达成新的或改进的贸易协议。

声明称，这些协议涵盖了占全球国内生产总值 (GDP) 一半以上的国家，包括韩国、日本、中国、欧盟和英国。

白宫还重点介绍了与韩国和台湾达成的价值 540 亿美元的协议，该协议旨在开发“阿拉斯加长期停滞的天然气管道”。

这是特朗普政府最新一次声称韩国致力于阿拉斯加天然气项目。首尔方面则一直坚持，其参与该项目仍需经过商业可行性评估。

关于造船业，白宫表示，特朗普签署了一项旨在恢复美国海上主导地位的行政命令，并在国家安全委员会设立了一个新办公室，以加强美国的造船业。

然而，该报告并未具体提及韩国造船企业与这些努力之间的联系。

去年，韩国宣布了一项旨在加强与美国造船业联系的计划，该计划名为“让美国造船业再次伟大”，是其与华盛顿达成的关税协议的一部分。
