I think at the end of four years, we are going to see higher U.S. tariffs than we have now. With respect to China in particular, I think there's a that makes a lot of sense that China is the greatest geopolitical threat the United States faces over the next hundred years. And I think it's important from a national security perspective to delink from from China. And I think these tariffs were designed to start doing that. Thanks to Senator Ted Cruz. (09:20–09:27)
