President Trump held a rally in Alaska on Tuesday, traveling there amid a close Senate race between Republican Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola. He pardoned Zachary Czuback and Patrick Fleming, co-owners of an Anchorage vehicle repair shop who pleaded guilty in 2022 to Clean Air Act violations involving tampering with diesel emissions-tracking devices. Trump also said Taiwan agreed to buy 30 percent of the gas from the Alaska pipeline project over 20 years, with a $4.4 billion investment on top of $50 billion committed by South Korea. Fox News added that the pipeline secured federal permits.
