In a press conference held in the Oval Office Monday afternoon, President Trump and Interior secretary Doug Burgum announced the administration’s latest effort to advance the Ambler Road, a proposed 211-mile private industrial corridor in Interior Alaska.⁠
⁠
The White House issued a 27-page Statement of Reasons on Trump’s decision to approve an appeal from the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, or AIDEA, an Alaskan governmental agency that’s mandated to pursue economic development in the state. Trump exercised an obscure provision of ANILCA, or the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, to approve the appeal and pave the way for the Ambler Project. The proposed road is a 211-mile road that would cut through the wilderness south of the Brooks Range and connect the Dalton Highway to mining deposits. At least four separate mines have been suggested, but there is currently no cap on how much development could happen along Ambler. Legal experts we spoke with say it’s the first time a president has ever used the provision to unilaterally overrule an agency’s decision.⁠
