From the transcript
Steve used a lot of his good relationships with the Trump administration to be able to explain really what was happening here with the port and why the port actually and the city of Anchorage and the state of Alaska need this settlement to happen. And so again, this all happens when you have decent relationships with folks, especially in this administration that we currently have now. I think the mayor and our office worked really well together in this. Steve was instrumental, but again, I want to thank the Department of Justice, the Attorney General, and anyone that had a hand in this. So we're going to have a lot of funding to be able to fix this port, upgrade this port, and really do away with a lot of worries as to whether this port is going to be able to handle the cargo that we need for the state of Alaska.
