韩国总统李在明反驳了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普关于韩国已同意向美国进行数千亿美元新投资的说法，其中包括高达54亿美元用于阿拉斯加天然气管道项目的资金。
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung pushed back on President Donald Trump’s assertion that Korea had agreed to commit hundreds of billions of dollars in new U.S. investments, including up to $54 billion for a natural gas pipeline project in Alaska.
特朗普周三晚间在Truth Social上发帖，庆祝美韩达成协议，将建造八座大型核反应堆，并对阿拉斯加液化天然气（LNG）项目进行巨额投资。该能源项目拟长途跋涉800多英里，将天然气从阿拉斯加富含石油的北极地区输送至该州其他地区以及未来的海外市场。
In a Truth Social post on Wednesday night, Trump celebrated the U.S.-Korea agreement to build eight large-scale nuclear reactors and a big investment in the Alaska LNG project, a proposed energy project to transport natural gas more than 800 miles from Alaska’s oil-rich Arctic region to the rest of state and eventually overseas markets.
但几小时后，李在明在X平台上发文反驳了特朗普关于已达成协议的立场，他写道：“阿拉斯加LNG项目将在满足以下前提条件的情况下推进工作层面的商讨：1）其商业可行性得到确认；2）符合大韩民国的法律程序。”
But hours later, Lee pushed back on Trump’s position that an agreement had been reached, writing on X that the “Alaska LNG project will proceed to working level under the preconditions that 1) its commercial viability is confirmed and 2) it complies with the legal procedures of the Republic of Korea.”
韩国产业通商资源部部长金正官周四对记者表示，他已就美方“宣布的内容远超双方共识”向美国商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克“提出了强烈抗议”。他说：“两国同意推进阿拉斯加项目的前提是保证商业合理性。”
South Korea’s Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Kim Jung-kwan, told reporters on Thursday that he “lodged a strong protest” with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick “as the announcement went far beyond what was agreed.”“The countries agreed to proceed with the Alaska project only on the premise that commercial reasonableness is guaranteed,” he said.
白宫发言人泰勒·罗杰斯为特朗普的言论进行了辩护，称这一宣布对“伟大的阿拉斯加州、美国和大韩民国来说具有历史意义”。罗杰斯在一份声明中表示：“总统和阿拉斯加人热切期盼这个备受期待的项目的建设和完工，它将为该州创造1.2万个建筑岗位和1300个永久运营岗位，带来250亿美元的州和地方收入，并为阿拉斯加节省100亿美元的能源开支。”美国商务部没有立即回应置评请求。
White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers defended Trump’s comments, describing the announcement as “historic for the great state of Alaska, the United States, and the Republic of Korea.”“The President and Alaskans look forward to the construction and completion of this long-anticipated project that will create 12,000 construction jobs and 1,300 permanent operation jobs in the state, generate $25 billion in state and local revenue, and provide $10 billion in Alaska energy savings,” Rogers said in a statement. The Commerce Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
韩国政府此前曾将一座价值220亿美元的德克萨斯州电厂描述为其战略投资框架中唯一正式选定并达成一致的部分，而将其他核能和阿拉斯加能源项目描述为需要进一步审查的项目。
The Korean government had previously characterized a $22 billion Texas power plant as the only formally selected and agreed upon part of their strategic investment framework, while describing the other nuclear and Alaska energy ventures as projects in need of further review.
特朗普于2025年4月威胁对韩国征收25%关税，这是他“解放日”宣布对美国一些最大贸易伙伴征收全面关税的一部分——这一举措在2月被最高法院推翻。
Trump threatened South Korea with 25% tariffs in April 2025 as part of his “Liberation Day” announcement of sweeping tariffs on some of the U.S.’s largest trading partners — a move the Supreme Court struck down in February.
在特朗普致信李某威胁恢复更高关税税率后，韩国最终于2025年7月同意接受15%的关税税率，以换取3500亿美元的美国投资，这笔投资是两国持续摩擦的根源。
After Trump sent Lee a letter threatening to reimpose the higher tariff rate, South Korea eventually agreed to a 15% tariff rate in July 2025 in exchange for the $350 billion in U.S. investment that’s the source of ongoing strife between the two countries.
美国和韩国于2025年11月签署的谅解备忘录承诺提供2000亿美元战略投资和1500亿美元造船项目，但在许多情况下，具体细节尚未公布。
The Memorandum of Understanding signed in November 2025 by the U.S. and South Korea pledged $200 billion in strategic investments and $150 billion in shipbuilding projects, but in many cases, specifics have not been announced.
