Gov. Mike Dunleavy is highlighting the impacts that some of President Donald Trump’s executive orders will have on Alaska.

The woman who presided over the U.S. Coast Guard’s placement of an icebreaker in Juneau was fired on President Donald Trump’s first day back in the White House. Adm. Linda Fagan, commandant of the Coast Guard, was relieved of her duties for reasons not specified by Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Benjamine Huffman.

Minority Leader Sen. Mike Shower, R-Wasilla, led their discussion with energy — “that’s where our focus is.” He cited the executive order titled “Unleashing Alaska’s Extraordinary Resource Potential” by U.S. President Donald Trump as creating momentum for resource development.

Trump policies reversing Biden-era environmental restrictions will enable more resource development in Alaska, the governor says.

Corinne Smith started reporting in Alaska in 2020, serving as a radio reporter for several local stations across the state including in Petersburg, Haines, Homer and Dillingham. She spent two summers covering the Bristol Bay fishing season.

Dunleavy offered no opinion on Trump's decision to rename Denali as Mount McKinley, saying he wanted to speak with the president before sharing his own view.
