So that decimates, you know, trucking industries, housing, construction, et cetera.

And we're saying, like, you got to focus on what's going on at home.

Our European allies are saying, this is so harebrained and you haven't been able to give us a decent briefing to explain what a decent set of goals are or what an exit strategy is.

And so no one's happy on that side.
