President Donald Trump is expected to announce on Wednesday that South Korea plans to invest approximately $54 billion in a project to export natural gas from Alaska.

预计唐纳德·特朗普总统将于周三宣布,韩国计划为一个从阿拉斯加出口天然气的项目投资约540亿美元。

The proposal has long been championed by Republican Senator Dan Sullivan, who is facing a fiercely competitive re-election race in the state.

这项提议长期以来得到共和党参议员丹·沙利文的支持,而沙利文正在该州面临一场竞争激烈的连任选战。

This investment would mark the second time this week that the Republican president has sought to highlight the foreign investment prospects generated by his administration's trade policies in a state where a Republican Senate candidate is locked in a tight race.

这笔投资将标志着本周第二次——这位共和党总统试图在共和党参议院候选人选情胶着的州,凸显其政府贸易政策所促成的外国投资前景。

On Monday, he made a similar announcement in the Oval Office regarding a large steel plant in Iowa.

他周一在椭圆形办公室就艾奥瓦州一座大型钢铁厂也发布了类似声明。

The investment in Alaska stems from a commitment made under a 2025 trade agreement with South Korea, which included a South Korean pledge to invest $350 billion in the United States in exchange for reduced US tariffs on South Korean cars, auto parts, and other products.

阿拉斯加这笔投资来自2025年与韩国达成的一项贸易协议中的承诺,该协议包括韩方承诺在美投资3500亿美元,以换取美国降低对韩国汽车、汽车零部件及其他产品的关税。

The White House confirmed the statement on Wednesday, while Bloomberg was the first to report it.

白宫于周三证实了该声明,而彭博社则率先对此进行了报道。

Sullivan has long been a staunch advocate of the Alaska natural gas project and has encouraged South Korea to invest in it.

沙利文长期以来一直是阿拉斯加天然气项目的坚定倡导者,并鼓励韩国进行投资。

As a two-term senator, he is now facing a formidable challenge from former congresswoman and Democrat Mary Peltola.

作为两届参议员,他正面临前众议员、民主党人玛丽·佩尔托拉的强劲挑战。

The White House stated that the project comprises an 807-mile (1,300-kilometer) natural gas pipeline that will connect Alaska's North Slope to a liquefied natural gas export terminal in southern Alaska, ultimately lowering energy costs for the state's residents by providing a reliable and secure supply.

白宫表示,该项目包括一条全长807英里(1300公里)的天然气管道,将阿拉斯加北坡与阿拉斯加南部的一座液化天然气出口终端连接起来,最终将通过提供可靠且安全的供应来降低该州居民的能源成本。

On Monday, Trump announced plans for a Minnesota company owned by an Indian industrial group to build a $15 billion steel plant in Iowa.

特朗普于周一宣布,计划由一家归印度工业集团所有的明尼苏达公司在艾奥瓦州建造一座耗资150亿美元的钢铁厂。

In Iowa, Republican U.S. Representative Ashley Hinson and Democratic State Representative Josh Turek are locked in a fierce contest for a U.S. Senate seat, which has become vacant following the retirement of two-term Republican Joni Ernst.

在艾奥瓦州,共和党籍联邦众议员阿什利·欣森与民主党籍州众议员乔什·图雷克正激烈角逐一个美国参议院席位,该席位因连任两届的共和党人乔尼·厄恩斯特退休而空出。

Hinson announced her candidacy during remarks delivered in the Oval Office.

欣森是在椭圆形办公室发表讲话时宣布参选的。

Alaska and Iowa — states where Trump has won easily every time he has run for president — are among the states where Democrats are targeting Republican-held Senate seats in the 2026 midterm elections, which are now less than five weeks away.

阿拉斯加和艾奥瓦州——特朗普每次竞选总统时都能在这些州轻松取胜——是民主党在2026年中期选举中瞄准共和党所持参议院席位的州之一,而这场选举距今已不足五周。

Democrats must gain a net of four seats in the 100-member Senate in order to wrest the majority from the Republicans.

民主党必须在由100名议员组成的参议院中净增四个席位,方能从共和党手中夺取多数党地位。

At the time Trump made these statements, voters were deeply worried about near-record fuel prices, a situation linked to the unresolved war with Iran; meanwhile, most Republican lawmakers in Congress were also facing voter discontent with Trump's approach to economic governance.

特朗普发表这些声明之时,选民正对接近创纪录的燃油价格忧心忡忡,而这一局面与尚未解决的伊朗战争有关;与此同时,国会中的多数共和党议员也面临选民对特朗普经济治理方式的不满。

In a poll conducted in late July by the Reporters-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, only about one-third of Americans approved of Trump's handling of the economy, while roughly seven in ten respondents described the economic situation as poor.

在7月底由Reporters-NORC公共事务研究中心进行的一项民调中,仅有约三分之一的美国人认可特朗普对经济的处理方式,而约七成受访者表示经济状况不佳。
