  "account": "Washington, October 2 - U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Friday that he did not hastily act when he announced a South Korean investment proposal for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Alaska. The statement came during a press conference, following the introduction of the initial batch of South Korean investments in the United States under their bilateral trade agreement from the previous year, which encompassed the LNG project. This announcement seemed to indicate a divergence in perspectives between the two nations, as Seoul remained uncertain about the finalization of South Korea's involvement in the Alaska project. In contrast, the two countries had reached consensus on two other initiatives: the construction of a gas-fired power plant in Texas and the development of eight substantial nuclear power plants. Trump assured reporters at the White House, \"I didn't jump the gun. I mean, they were there and they were represented.\" He added, \"And let's see, if they don't want to do it, that's okay with me. I'll just charge them more.\"",
