I mean, what we saw when the President announced those tariffs around the globe to ensure more fair and balanced trade was huge criticism, that people could not believe it, that countries were in shock.

But the truth is, the impetus for that decision is the American people.

And we voted in a president that would take our interest, our considerations, our needs first.

And that policy has not changed.

Well, we saw with the national security strategy that this administration is focused on what is in the best interest of the United States.

And what that comes down to is every partnership, every deal, every trade, economic partnership and negotiation comes down to is it in the best interest of the United States?

And I think that's fundamentally what makes this foreign policy so different, so special, so important for the American people.

And that's how we'll continue to prioritize our activities, our relationships, our engagements moving forward.

It's important for the Department of State to be seen by the American people.

Foreign policy that's made personal, that's trickled down into their homes, into their living rooms.

I have family members and friends who say, I saw the State Department today.

Can you explain this to me?

Now this makes sense.

This is making sense now.

It actually is important for every American to understand that they have a president who is defending U.S.

national interest every single day.

You're so welcome.
