Hey, Charlie. Before I ask the question, I just want to say on behalf of everyone here, thank you so much for coming out. I think we all appreciate it.

Yeah, on the national security front, I broadly agree, but then I have a couple of questions. First of all, do you think that tariffing China, I completely understand. What do you think of the idea that you tariff China and you tariff all these other nations, that's going to push them to establish stronger ties with China? That is a risk.
