I would also point to the Europeans that what the Russians have done with Ukraine would not have been possible without the assistance of China. whether it's the sharing of technology or aid in evading sanctions or selling their oil in secondary markets. The Chinese have been hidden, but clear to everyone watching, partners in the Russian endeavor.

In reality, if China wanted to obstruct traffic in the Panama Canal, they could. That's a fact. And it's my view that's a violation of the treaty agreement. And that's what President Trump is raising. And we're going to address that topic. It's one of deep concern. That dynamic cannot continue.

It's not in the national interest of the United States to have a canal we paid for and we built used as a leverage and a weapon against us. That can't happen. We built this thing. We paid for it. Thousands of people died doing this, Americans.

And somehow our naval vessels who go through there and American shipping that goes through there pays rates, some cases higher than other countries are paying. For example, a vessel from China, that's also not acceptable. But we should not be in a position of having to pay more than other countries. In fact, we should be getting a discount or maybe for free because we paid for the thing.

Thank you. It still feels weird to hear that, but thank you.

Eight days, but I'm not counting. I'm saying it's been eight days, eight, nine days.

Yeah. It's so awful. It is. It is. It's horrible. I mean, just from a human standpoint of it, to think these are people that were, I mean, they were landing. I mean, we've all been on these planes. You're getting ready to land. You're excited. You're getting ready to go. Maybe your phone's already connecting because you're ready to get on the ground.

And then something like this comes out of the blue. And it's a horrible tragedy. And we don't forget that there were service members involved in this as well who lost their lives in this terrible accident. Obviously, it's not a State Department function, but... The key to these is first to honor those who have passed and understand the pain of these families.

The second is to figure out why this happened so that it never happens again. This is a very busy airport, and there's a lot of traffic going in and out through the city. But it's just heartbreaking, and I'm sure as we hear the individual stories of the people involved, it will be even sadder.
