| Day 1 EO blitzkrieg: Experts rally around Trump's under the radar Executive Order unlocking 'critical' project blocked by Biden |

| [FoxNews] The Ambler Access Project in Alaska was previously blocked by the Biden administration. President Trump signed an executive order overlooked by some in the media on his first day of office that experts tell Fox News Digital will play a critical role in developing mineral resources in the United States. On the first day of his presidency, Trump signed an executive order advancing the Ambler Access Project, a 211-mile industrial road through the Brooks Range foothills that enables commercial mining for copper, zinc and other materials in a remote Arctic area in Northwest Alaska. That executive order, one of dozens signed by Trump in the early hours of his administration, reverses a move by former President Biden to block the project and represents a significant change in energy policy, according to experts who spoke to Fox News Digital. "President Biden issued 70 executive actions that discouraged tapping into Alaska's natural resources and public lands access," Gabriella Hoffman, Independent Women’s Forum Center for Energy & Conservation Director, told Fox News Digital. "Unlike his predecessor, President Trump recognizes Alaska's potential to meet domestic energy and national security needs for reliable energy and critical minerals—including restoring the Ambler Access Project connecting to the Ambler Mining District." |

| #1 You could build a whole lot of 211 mile gravel roads in Alaska before they would have any significant negative environmental impact. |
