Alaska was openly ‘targeted’ by Biden executive order, Murkowski claims in Haaland confirmation hearing
Fox News
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, sounded the alarm about President Biden's oil restrictions, pressing his Interior secretary nominee, Rep. Deb Haaland, D-N.M., on an executive order she said targeted her state.
She seemed to be referring to Biden's executive order directing the Interior Department to place a temporary moratorium on oil and gas leasing activities in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Murkowski went on to say she didn't think Biden was "out to get" Alaskans but that she does think "there is a definite threat to the resource industry that our state is blessed to be able to host."More Related News
