  "account": "On the eve of the U.S. midterm elections, the White House emphasized President Donald Trump's trade deal with South Korea and an Alaska natural gas project involving Seoul as fulfilled campaign promises. The administration detailed 127 campaign pledges Trump had fulfilled, including the major U.S. trade agreements with key economies such as South Korea, Japan, China, the European Union, and Britain. Trump secured these agreements by leveraging tariffs to negotiate better terms. The White House also highlighted a US$54 billion deal with South Korea and Taiwan to develop a natural gas pipeline in Alaska, an agreement Seoul is reportedly committed to, though it awaits a commercial viability review. Additionally, the administration confirmed Trump's executive order to restore U.S. maritime dominance and form a new office at the National Security Council to bolster the country's shipbuilding industry, though they did not specify South Korean involvement.",
