So, you know, I think certainly many people in Europe and other places looked at that Trump meeting with Zelensky a week ago and said, this is it. The transatlantic alliance is over. The America that was a trustworthy partner for European allies and North American allies and NATO is no more. And it's just never coming back. Now, I would say to the China point,

part of the justification that you hear for all of this from some Trump allies is that the point of cozying up to Russia is to rebalance against China. That if America is going to effectively counter China in this new world order, We have to split Russia off from them, and that's part of the point of some of the more pro-Putin expressions coming from Trump.

Oh my gosh, Kate, I can't even tell you how excited I am about this. We might get a government shutdown. I don't actually, obviously, I'm not for or against a government shutdown. But it's always exciting times on Capitol Hill when they're trying to keep the government open, which is perpetually difficult. And the deadline for government funding is one week from today on Friday, March 14th.

So if they don't pass a new government funding bill by then, the government will shut down, at least in part. And where we stand right now is nobody has any idea how they're going to do this. There's kind of some negotiations going on with Democrats. There's a potential short-term bill. There's a potential long-term bill.
