I support the President's goal. Again, I'm hoping that his negotiating strategy is correct. The sooner we can do a deal, the better. It's very unfortunate that that President Xi backtracked from where they were because what good is an agreement if it's not enforceable, if they don't change their laws? And it was really at that enforcement stage in the negotiation where they got cold feet. Very unfortunate. As a top elected Republican in Wisconsin, you ordered a financial autopsy on the state party. (22:45–22:53)
