Discussion with Senator Ron Johnson on Prescription Drug Pricing and Economic Policies

Let me shift gears, Senator, to the news of China and the US decreasing their respective tariffs on one another by 115%. It looks like the markets have responded very positively to that.

I think this is the market's reaction is hope that this dramatic trade war is over and that both sides are kind of standing down and trying to figure out something that will work. (04:16–04:21)
