Oct 8, 2025 by AFP

ARLINGTON, VA—This week, the Trump administration approved the Ambler Road Project in Alaska. Brent Gardner, Chief Government Affairs Officer at Americans for Prosperity released the following statement supporting this move to unleash Alaska’s energy potential:

“Americans for Prosperity applauds President Trump’s approval of the Ambler Road project, a long-overdue move to unlock Alaska’s critical mineral resources. This decision reverses years of federal obstruction and opens the door to the development of copper and cobalt— vital for next generation technologies and economic growth.

“AFP is proud to have supported this effort and commends the Trump administration’s leadership, along with Alaska’s congressional delegation for championing this vital infrastructure project. Now imagine what would be possible if Washington reformed our permitting process to free up critical projects all over the country that are currently stuck in red tape.”
