I think Scott Besant is in that camp. I think when he was in the administration, Elon Musk was in that camp, and I am emphatically in that camp. There is another camp that views tariffs not as a means to an end, but as the end in and of themselves. that wants to see high tariffs in perpetuity and is perfectly fine with our trading partners having reciprocal tariffs that are high. I think that that camp is profoundly misguided. (20:42–20:50)
