$16 billion. 16 billion. And they were after a lot of our American companies. See, that's what's unfair. It's a European Union. I'm not blaming you. I'm blaming the European Union. The European Union has gone after our companies, and Apple is a great company, and they have to give 16, $17 billion on a lawsuit that I didn't think was a good lawsuit. No, that's. That's not good. No, the European. We have a problem with the European Union. They don't take our farm products. They don't take cars. We take millions of cars. (39:17–39:28)
