because of the energy innovation that's come from this private sector in the oil and gas and energy industries in our country.

And now we have an opportunity to share that abundance with our friends and allies around the world.

That's what we're doing here in Japan with these 17 countries that are here to sign deals with the US for secure supply chains from places like Alaska where we've got enormous amounts of LNG

and we could be providing all of our partners more secure and lower cost energy across the Pacific, our traditional allies, whether it's Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Taiwan, you go down this, and our territories.

I mean, the territories that are part of the U.S.

Department of Interior,

Guam, American Samoa, the Marianas Islands, these are all places where we've got military bases.

And in many cases, including Hawaii, we're buying foreign oil.

We have an opportunity in America under President Trump's energy dominance to sell energy even to our own territories and to our own states in the Pacific.

Alaska can be a key part of that.

And so, again, even as we've got the conflict going on,

This administration can do more than one thing at a time, and there's going to be incredible progress here on building a secure energy future for our allies and friends and our territories and our states in the Pacific.

Not that I'm aware of has there been any intervention in those markets.

Well, I think our Gulf state allies have never been happier than they have now to have U.S.

military presence in their country and to have a strong relationship, both economically and in terms of energy industry with the United States.

They understand who supports them and who supports their growth and prosperity.

Well, let's just start at the top line.

This is incredibly courageous, forward-looking talk, and celebrating our 250th anniversary as a country, going literally back to our founding.

And tonight, who would have known when you're coming to hear the speech, you're going to get an opportunity to be present.

for the Medal of Honor being delivered twice.
