President Donald Trump has approved a plan to build a 211-mile road through Alaska’s remote wilderness, aiming to expand access to valuable mineral deposits such as copper and cobalt. The proposal, known as the Ambler Road project, was previously backed during Trump’s first administration and is intended to bolster mining activity in the region.
