Italian energy giant Eni
has been given the green light from United States President
Donald Trump's administration for oil exploration in federal
waters in the Beaufort Sea, off Alaska, US media reported.
This makes Eni the first company authorized to search for oil
in Alaskan waters since 2015.
The authorization is part of the Trump administration's
policy of boosting fossil fuel production, despite warnings
about the impact of this from environmentalists.
