TOKYO (Reuters) -- Alaskan state representatives will visit Japan this month to court investors for a natural gas project President Donald Trump says could pump trillions of dollars into the U.S., but Japanese energy firms remain skeptical of the project's feasibility.
Officials from the state-run Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC) and development partner Glenfarne Group will visit "allied Asian nations in late March to update industry leaders on Alaska LNG's economic and strategic competitive advantages, and discuss opportunities for participation," said AGDC spokesperson Tim Fitzpatrick.
