President Donald Trump is expected to announce on Wednesday that South Korea intends 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,韩国拟斥资约540亿美元,投入一个自阿拉斯加出口天然气的项目。

The proposal has long enjoyed the vigorous backing of Republican Senator Dan Sullivan, who is currently embroiled in a closely contested re-election battle in that state.

此项提议长期以来获共和党参议员丹·沙利文的鼎力支持,而沙利文眼下正在该州面临一场选情胶着的连任之战。

This investment would mark the second time this week that the Republican president has sought to spotlight the foreign investment prospects facilitated by his administration's trade policy 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亦发布了类似声明。

The Alaska investment stems from a commitment made under a 2025 trade agreement concluded with South Korea, which encompasses Seoul's pledge to invest $350 billion in the United States in exchange for reductions in US tariffs on South Korean automobiles, auto parts, and other products.

阿拉斯加这笔投资源自2025年与韩国缔结的一项贸易协议中所作的承诺,该协议涵盖韩方承诺在美投资3500亿美元,以换取美国削减对韩国汽车、汽车零部件及其他产品的关税。

The White House confirmed the announcement on Wednesday, while the news was first reported by Bloomberg.

白宫于周三对这项声明予以证实,而该消息则系由彭博社率先披露。

Sullivan has been an unwavering advocate of the Alaska natural gas project and has vigorously pressed South Korea to commit capital.

沙利文始终不渝地倡导阿拉斯加天然气项目,并力促韩国注资。

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

身为两届参议员,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 asserts that the project encompasses an 807-mile (1,300-kilometer) natural gas pipeline designed to connect Alaska's North Slope with a liquefied natural gas export terminal in southern Alaska, thereby ultimately reducing energy costs for the state's residents by furnishing a reliable and secure supply.

白宫宣称,该项目涵盖一条绵延807英里(1300公里)的天然气管道,旨在将阿拉斯加北坡与阿拉斯加南部一座液化天然气出口终端相衔接,从而最终藉由提供可靠且安全的供应,削减该州居民的能源成本。

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

特朗普于周一宣布,拟由一家隶属印度工业集团的明尼苏达州企业在艾奥瓦州兴建一座耗资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 been left open after two-term Republican Joni Ernst announced her retirement.

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·图雷克正围绕一个美国参议院席位展开激烈角逐;该席位因连任两届的共和党人乔尼·厄恩斯特宣告退休而虚位以待。

Hinson made the announcement in the Oval Office.

欣森是在椭圆形办公室发表上述宣布的。

Alaska and Iowa—states where Trump won by landslide margins in each of his presidential campaigns—are among the targets as Democrats seek to capture Republican-held Senate seats in the 2026 midterms, now less than five weeks away.

阿拉斯加与艾奥瓦州——特朗普历次竞选总统均在此二州以压倒性优势胜出——正是民主党在2026年中期选举中意欲夺取共和党所持参议院席位的目标州份之一,而距该场选举已不足五周。

The Democrats must secure a net gain of four seats in the hundred-member Senate if they are to wrest the majority from the Republicans.

民主党须在由百人组成的参议院中净增四个席位,方可从共和党手中夺取多数党地位。

At the time Trump made these remarks, voters were deeply anxious about fuel prices that, linked to the unresolved war with Iran, were approaching historic highs, while the Republican majority in Congress was likewise confronting voters' discontent with its handling of economic affairs.

特朗普发表上述声明之时,选民正因与悬而未决的伊朗战争相关联的、逼近历史峰值的燃油价格而忧心忡忡,与此同时,国会中的共和党多数议员亦面临着选民对其处理经济事务方式的不满情绪。

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

在7月底由Reporters-NORC公共事务研究中心开展的一项民意调查中,仅约三分之一的美国人对其经济施政表示认可,而约七成受访者则称经济状况堪忧。
