Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has called on President-elect Donald Trump to roll back restrictions on oil and gas drilling across the state in January 2025, stating that Alaska is ready to work with Trump to set the state and country “on a course to prosperity.”

Dunleavy, a Republican, issued the request in a November letter, just days after Trump won the presidential election.
