Again, when it comes to tariffs, the president has been very tough on China, not just now with 20 percent and more with the reciprocal tariffs that will hit on April 2nd. But look at what he did in his first term. There were billions of dollars worth of tariffs that he implemented on China yesterday.

Inflation throughout Joe Biden's entire 48 months in office was at or above 3%. It hit record highs, as you know. And there's a whole list of what the Biden economic disaster this president was left to clean up. It's been a month, but he's working hard every single day to do just that.

The President is open to hearing about additional exemptions. He always has open dialogue, and he'll always do what's right, what he believes is right for the American people. But again, as for the egg crisis in this country, the President is wholeheartedly committed to ensuring we're increasing our egg supply, and we're also bringing down cost.
