I'm completely supportive, though, of the Senate in the House ratifying the new nafta, the USMCA agreement. NAFTA was highly beneficial to Wisconsin. We had a trading surplus with both Canada and Mexico. Mexico is our largest export market for Wisconsin cheese. So it's incredibly important for Wisconsin, both farmers as well as manufacturers, now that we've set up all these very complex supply chains to have an agreement in place, whether that's NAFTA or whether it's the new USMCA which modernizes nafta.
