By the way, I think that Trump in his recent negotiations, negotiations with Xi, just dropped the punishment that we had imposed. Not surprised. All of that aside, Targeted tariffs are important willy nilly across the board. I'm mad at Brazil today, I'm mad at Switzerland today. I don't like Cambodia today. These are not helping our economy. In fact, they are harming our economy. And for the president who ran on a high cost of things and said he would bring them down on day one, he is doing everything in his power to do just the opposite. (30:11–30:29)
