President Donald Trump took action Monday to reverse a Biden-era decision on Ambler Road, which would provide access to the Ambler Mining District in northern Alaska, an area rich in copper and other key minerals, including gold and silver.
Trump announced the presidential action on Monday during an Oval Office press conference along with Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and Energy Secretary Chris Wright.
“We’re making [Alaska] greater, bigger, and more powerful and job-producing. It’s an economic gold mine, so to speak. And I signed this years ago, and Biden unsigned it,” Trump said.
“This was something that should have been long operating and making billions of dollars for our country and supplying a lot of energy and minerals and everything else that we’re talking about,” he add
