The state of Alaska has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration, claiming violations of a Congressional directive that mandates oil and gas development in a section of the federal Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).

U.S. President Joe Biden is set to impose a ban on new offshore oil and gas development along most U.S. coastlines, a move that could pose challenges for President-elect Donald Trump, who has pledged to expand domestic energy production.

Türkiye on Thursday announced the launch of gas drilling at a new exploration well in the Black Sea.
