Anchorage, Alaska— AFP-Alaska celebrates a historic moment for Alaskans as the Trump administration reaffirms its commitment to the state’s economic future and a significant step in unlocking the vast potential of Alaska’s natural resources through the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) coastal plain decision.

AFP-Alaska State Director Brett Huber released the following statement:

“This announcement by the Trump administration is more than a policy shift—it’s a reaffirmation of Alaska’s role in America’s energy future. Alaska is uniquely poised to be a huge asset for our nation’s energy security. With our abundance of natural resources, we have the technology to do it right, and we have the environmental safeguards in place to ensure we do it responsibly.

“By enabling responsible resource development, the administration is paving the way for prosperity, job creation, and economic growth across the state.

“Today’s actions recognize Alaska for the promises of statehood, and advance a brighter economic future. Alaskans are one step closer to realizing their own American dream.”
