What do you know about this pause? What are the details of it? Well, the details, as I understand it, is that China continues to retaliate. Other countries didn't retaliate.

So, Senator, I would just refute that when the president is talking about the nature of the emergency we have. Can you talk a little bit closer to the mic, please? Certainly. Senator, I would just say, you know, I think you need to look at what the president issued in terms of the order for the legal basis for what we're doing, right?

So first of all, I would push back, Senator, just a little bit on this. For now, we've excluded pharmaceuticals and semiconductors to take a different kind of approach. And we've excluded USMCA.

Senator, the president is fixed in his purpose. This trade deficit and the offshoring and loss of manufacturing jobs is something that's persisted for too long, and it's dangerous.

I think the most serious inflation we saw was during the Biden administration. When we did tariffs in the first term, inflation went down. It's not going to be a one-to-one. Inflation is about how much money you're putting into the supply.

One thing I'll say is we can't have the status quo, right? I keep hearing that we should have, essentially what I'm hearing is we should have the status quo. We should keep the $1.2 trillion trade deficit that Biden left us with.
