Alaska Celebrates as Trump Opens 2.1 Million Acres for Energy and Mineral Development

Governor Mike Dunleavy hailed Interior Secretary Doug Burgum's decision to open over two million acres of Alaska land for oil, gas, and critical mineral development, calling it 'a milestone for Alaska's self-determination.' The move revokes decades-old Public Land Orders, unlocking resource-rich territory that state leaders argue will boost domestic energy production and reduce dependence on foreign supply chains.
