Yes, Steve, Twitter's BP Costello.
I think, so there's a, I mean, listen, it's very clear that she is looking for all the leverage she can get and he's going after the US economy.
You know, they've been at war for forever.
I think everybody right now feels the vibe is different.
We've been kind of discounting TikTok ban with extension after extension.
We've been discounting tariffs with extension after extension here and now.
And everybody knows that this is very, very different.
The markets got pretty spooked on Friday.
What people are watching for is there were the Ministry of Foreign Commerce had six notes that put out, but 59 and 60.
So it's 55 to 62 and 59 and 60 weren't put out.
So people are kind of wondering what that is.
And they're also going to see how our allies are going to react.
How does Taiwan, how does South Korea, how does Japan, with China now prepared to use their leverage across the supply chain, which is something different, how do they react in terms of the equipment that they need to provide to the U.S.
for our existing build-out and re-industrialization of the U.S.?
So she's clearly going after our markets.
It could get really bumpy, really ugly here.
And, you know, I think President Trump realizes that this is not, you know, what they say is not what they're going to do, which makes it really, really hard to find any type of concentric circle moving forward in terms of a deal.
On X, it's BP Costello.
And Steve, I would just recommend, I mean, listen, this is different.
We need an all-out effort in the federal government to understand where we're dependent on China.
