According to a report by Reuters on January 6, according to preliminary data from the London Stock Exchange Group, US liquefied natural gas exports will exceed 100 million tons per year for the first time in 2025, ranking first in the world as new plants are put into operation. In order to strengthen its natural gas export advantage, the US is eyeing Japan and hoping that Japanese companies will undertake the Alaska gas project. According to a report by Japan's “Mainichi Shimbun” on January 3, Japan previously promised to invest 550 billion US dollars in the US in exchange for a reduction in the tariff rate. The Alaska Natural Gas Project is one of the candidate projects for this investment plan. However, more and more voices from the public say that Japanese companies are unwilling to pay too much for this.
