Moving on, Chris, to the war situation.

Well, sorry, before I do that, actually, I don't know, did you spot yesterday that the Court of International Trade struck down Trump's 10% global tariffs?

No, but when the Supreme Court... Well, I was speaking at a supply chain logistics conference in Waterford yesterday.

There was a lot of people in that audience who care about what's happening on the tariff side.

But anyway, last February, when the Supreme Court threw out Trump's Liberation Day tariffs, he came in with this emergency 10% global tariff under a certain section that is due to expire in July anyway.

But...

That's now been ruled out by the Court of International Trade.

It's been struck down.

They will remain in place because obviously the administration is now going to appeal this.

And at the same time, Trump turned around and gave the EU until July 4th to ratify a trade deal or face much higher tariffs.

It's kind of hard to believe, you know, at one level, he's still going on about tariffs.

He's going on about his ballroom, a lot of other shit like that.

And you look at what's happening in Iran at the moment, the Iranians and the Americans were having a pot pop at each other the last 24 hours.

And yes, the ceasefire is still in place.

We're told we're on the brink of some sort of settlement subject to the Iranians agreeing.

And it's mad stuff.

And then there was a story in The Economist this morning that The Economist has revealed that there's a Russian plan to supply Iran with innovative weapons to use against American troops, fiber optic drones and so on.

But this stuff was going on in Iran is absolutely mad.

It's mad.

It's having a huge impact on everything, actually.
