A multibillion-dollar project to tap into natural gas in Alaska pursued by the Trump administration has received secret funding from a sanctioned Russian company, according to a report. Polar LNG, an American energy startup, is seeking to buy Russian technology to extract natural gas from Alaska's North Slope and ship it to allies abroad, portraying the project as a decidedly American undertaking.

He said he had been made to believe that the money came from a firm in the United Arab Emirates, when at least some of it actually came from Novatek, one of Russia's biggest energy companies. Novatek is under partial U.S. sanctions.

Enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap) has decreased significantly over the past year in the US following restrictions imposed by the Trump administration, which has forced more people to seek help from food banks or go hungry, stakeholders say.
