We'll look details matter and I saw Secretary Wright's. interview as well. But look, I want to just first to thank the President Trump. He has been relentless, Joe. on promoting Alaska Energy. LNG, oil, critical minerals we had a huge deal. that he announced last week. So he has been, he and his cabinet have been tremendous. supporters. of Alaska natural resources. And by the way, that's great for my constituents, but it's really good for America and it's a huge contrast. to the previous administration, Joe Biden's issued 70 executive orders and actions singularly focused to shut down Alaska's. Resource Development and Economy. John Kerry went overseas to our Asian allies saying. Bye. American LNG if you can believe that he did. So it's a giant contrast. So again, a big thanks to President Trump. and um his team. Now look. I saw Secretary Basin said, hey, it was the Chinese. who actually... Ask about Alaska Energy Oil. in natural gas and to be honest I'm not surprised the Alaska LNG project. is making huge progress right now. and I think the big headline. from the president's trip wasn't what Xi Jinping was asking about energy. from Alaska. It was the progress. the Trump administration made in Japan. in Korea on our big LNG project. So... You know, with regard to China, getting line, there's a lot of Asian countries. that one American LG from Alaska, it's exciting, it's strategic, it's gonna help our country, it's gonna help our allies and it's gonna help my state.

There's no doubt about it. The National Patrol Army Reserve of Alaska right now is probably the hottest. oil basin in the world. And by the way, just on the Senate floor today, we pass my Senate resolution. teaser. pull back, Biden's shut down of the NPA. by partisan, by the way. So. We have the capacity. We literally have about 50 to 100 years supply. of conventional. Natural gas on the North Slope. The key is Getting this project off the ground, which again, the Trump administration has been great on. The one big beautiful bill has an energy financing facility. that we're going to use to get that done. We got federal loan guarantees and the infrastructure bill for just this project. and I'll tell you this. Right now, Glenn Farm, which is the private sector development developer of this project. has already subscribed over 50%. of the capacity of this project through letters of intent. uh... and this is a twenty million metric ton her and him project. So... There's a lot of countries, Japan, Korea. Taiwan, Thailand who have already signed up with L.O.I.s. That's why I'm in. you know China needs to get in line, but I think this project's moving fast. and it's moving forward and the Trump administration has had a lot to do with that.

No, the key thing is we got to build the pipeline. Now look, we're building it in two phases. And that's the other element of this project where we've made huge. Progress, Worley is doing the feed work, the front end engineering and design work. Glenn Farm is put out. the request. or steel and other inputs, that's coming in right now. They're talking about a final investment decision. by the end of this year. and the feed work being done. before the end of this year. That's real progress and once you get that done. Then we're going to move forward on phase one, which is the pipe on and phase two. which is the LNG exports to our Asian allies.
