Marco Rubio

Easier, no doubt.

I mean, I think oftentimes people think there's posturing going on. Well, they don't really mean this or they're not really going to do it. I think in my particular case, I don't have to make that argument. Right. I mean, I think they understand it. I think it's also a lot of pragmatism.

Every conversation I've had with foreign leaders to the extent it's been conflictive or that we've had areas of conflict to talk about, I've been very clear in that is, look, I expect you to do what you're doing because you're acting in your national interest.

And I know you've gotten used to a foreign policy in which you act in the national interest of your country and we sort of act in the interest of the globe or the global order. But We're led by a different kind of person now. And under President Trump, we're going to do what you do. And one of the terms that President Trump loves is reciprocity.

And it's very simple, but I think people would understand it. If you charge us a 50% tariff for an American product to enter your country, we should charge you a 50% tariff here. Maybe 55. President Trump likes to have leverage too. And who would not argue that that's not fair? And how can you argue against it? But that's been our policy in many cases.

And country after country around the world, we have no access to their markets, but their products have open and free access to ours. How can that continue? That's absurd. I think anybody who has common sense would argue that. Frankly, I think a lot of these leaders have been wondering why it took us so long to figure that out. But under President Trump, they know we have.

Well, we're not interested in bullying anybody. And we don't feel like we bullied Colombia. We feel like we had a deal. Colombia signed a deal. They signed a piece of paper that said, yes, send us these airplanes. And then halfway into the flight, they broke it. And so our answer was... Well, now we flew these planes. We had to bring them back to the United States.

Obviously, look, China has nuclear weapons. They're tough people. There's no doubt about it. They're tough people. They have nuclear weapons. They're a great power with a large economy.
