U.S. President Donald Trump is set to say Tuesday that Korea, Japan and other countries want to be partners as his administration is working on a natural gas pipeline in Alaska, according to excerpts of his planned address to a joint session of Congress.

The White House released the excerpts before Trump's first address to the joint session since his second presidential term began in January.

"My administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska, among the largest in the world, where Japan, Korea, and other nations want to be our partner — with trillions of dollars being spent by them. It will truly be spectacular," he was to say.
