Taiwan said on Wednesday it was making progress in talks to buy liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Alaska LNG and would invest $4.4-billion in the project after US President Donald Trump told a rally in the State that Taipei would buy 30% of its output. Taiwan's economy ministry said State-owned energy firm CPC Corp has made significant progress with the project developer after nearly a year and a half of negotiations and evaluation.
