He is being pretty vague there. It could be any number of things in the orbit of anti-russia pressuring. That could include the feds pressuring legally, but it could also be many other less direct things or even a personal political decision.

They are being cagey.

That's true. I'm more inclined of the idea that he is just trying to avoid conflict to focus on the development.

That's a common idea that I see in this type of people.

Maybe he's trying to avoid conflict with US government, but he clearly is not trying to avoid conflict with that statement.
