First on FOX: Alaska Native People and Residents Of the vast north-sloping borough communities along the Arctic Ocean, there was no direct discussion of concerns with White House officials 3,500 miles away in Washington this week.
Secretary of the Interior Doug BurghamChris Wright’s Energy Secretary and EPA administrator Lee Zeldin joined Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy and locals in Utqiagvik (formerly Barrow) as part of a multi-day visit to oil and gas fields, workers and neighbors in the frigid yet important area.
Charles Lamp, an indigenous of Kaktovik – a major remote community (ANWR) within the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve (ANWR) said hundreds of miles east. Donald Trump And the officials gathered at utqiagvik were appointed and residents of North Slope, and they felt their hopes for energy development were surrounded by that same distant federal government.
Lamp has expressed similar concerns to Fox News Digital. It was spoken in the past by an Alaskan official. So, 48 environmental activists and ideologically allied federal officials tried to speak for them in opposition to the development of other sites that the same activists do not live in.

“There’s one thing I want to raise. We were being attacked in Kaktovik by environmental groups,” Lump said.
“On the first day, President Trump told the Fish and Wildlife Service to deny their demands. It was so amazing that we could see. And we were so proud of the President, because he confirmed that our ancestors’ homelands were not stolen.

“So I really need to regain this immeasurable appreciation to President Trump for that action and make sure that other guys (if other guys) can write them (Joe Biden and Kamala Harris) We’d won, there’s no doubt in my heart that our hometown has been stolen and there’s nothing we can do about it,” he said.
“Trump has the heart and the ability to correct this wrong.”
He told Bulgham to invite Trump to Kaktovik and see ANWR and its “Section 1002” (Oil and Gas Development Division) for himself.
Bulgham said he believes Trump is open to opportunities. And the president said he is already happy to surprise stakeholders of local businesses with his openness to questions that oil companies felt even reluctant to consider asking the president.

“President Trump cherishes this on a deep and deep level,” Burgham said, adding that he shocked Conoco Phillips representatives at a recent meeting.
When the company pointed out that road improvements would help, Trump rhetorically asked why it couldn’t build roads.
“(They) were like, ‘Wow, I didn’t know we could ask that.’ ”
Wright was also added in another comment that he worked on the Utqiagvik meeting and frequently visited the discovery of Prudho Bay. First opened Alaska It represents energy development and, at one point, a quarter of the US oil output.
“Unfortunately, in the last few decades, oil production on the north slope has been declining for a long and slower time. In fact, there is an astounding amount of oil here that is not produced by minors, because of federal regulations, the bureaucracy. Wright said.
He added that Alaska could be key to global energy security by keeping Korean and Japanese buyers away from China, as the “big and beautiful twin natural gas pipeline” was eventually built.
“It’s great to be part of history again at the Great North Slope oil field here in Alaska,” Wright said.
