From the transcript

So now I'd like to ask Secretary Burgum to say a few words, followed by Secretary Wright, Administrator Lee Zeldin, and then Governor Mark Gordon and whoever else wants to say a few words, including my new friend, my new governor friend. So, Doug, go ahead. Well, thank you, President Trump, with these announcements today and everything that your administration has accomplished so far since you've taken office. This administration has done more to save, protect and expand coal in our country than any administration perhaps ever. Clean, beautiful coal.
