President Trump on Monday signed an executive order approving the Ambler Road Project in Alaska, a 211-mile access road that will give mining companies the ability to access leased land for mineral development.

"We're making [Alaska] greater, bigger, and more powerful and job-producing. It's an economic gold mine, so to speak," the President said.

This will revoke the Biden-era prohibition of Trump's previously approved development.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Biden halted the Trump administration's Ambler Road plans last April and banned oil and gas drilling in nearly half of Alaska's petroleum reserve. The reserve is 23 million acres of public land for a national emergency oil supply originally intended for the US Navy, created in the early 1920s.
