WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (Yonhap) -- U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday unveiled South Korea's plans for investment, including a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Alaska, under last year's bilateral trade agreement.

The announcement followed protracted negotiations over several energy investment projects under the trade agreement that committed South Korea to investing $350 billion in the United States -- $150 billion for the shipbuilding sector and the remainder for strategic investments -- in return for lower U.S. tariffs on Korean goods.

Trump highlighted the investment plans as he has underscored his economic achievements ahead of the November midterm elections amid public concerns over the monthslong war with Iran that has left energy prices high and deepened economic uncertainties.

The LNG project involves the construction of a 1,298-kilometer-long pipeline from the North Slope, which has massive proven natural gas reserves, to southern Alaska to transport natural gas that will be cooled to liquid form for shipments to Asia.

Other projects include a large-scale gas-fired power plant in Encinal, Texas and the construction of eight nuclear reactors.

华盛顿，9月30日（韩联社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周三公布了韩国的投资计划，其中包括根据去年签署的双边贸易协定在阿拉斯加建设液化天然气（LNG）项目。

此前，双方就贸易协定下的几项能源投资项目进行了漫长的谈判。该协定承诺韩国向美国投资 3500 亿美元——其中 1500 亿美元用于造船业，其余用于战略投资——以换取美国对韩国商品降低关税。

在公众对持续数月的伊朗战争感到担忧之际，特朗普强调了他的投资计划，并着重介绍了他在11月中期选举前取得的经济成就。这场战争导致能源价格高企，加剧了经济的不确定性。

该液化天然气项目包括修建一条从拥有大量已探明天然气储量的北坡到阿拉斯加南部的 1298 公里长的管道，将天然气输送到亚洲，冷却成液态后再运往亚洲。

其他项目包括在德克萨斯州恩西纳尔建造一座大型燃气发电厂，以及建造八座核反应堆。
