I said, I would tell that young girl that you will have a better life than your parents, that you and your family, thanks to President Trump, can now be confident again that you will have a better life than your parents, which working class Americans had abandoned that idea. Your family will own a home. You will be able to advance. You will have a good education. You will have economic freedom.
That's what we are advancing.
Again, Laura, that I think a lot of American businesses have pre-positioned a lot of inventory. The trade deficit actually jumped because so many people bought in advance. And the companies that I've talked to have done that. We are going to stick to our guns. But again, the US and China have shared interests. They are the deficit country, though.
They sell us about four times more than we sell them. So it would be felt harder in China.
Well, Laura, in game theory, it's called strategic uncertainty, what you're talking about. Nobody does it better than President Trump. And it can be unsettling for the markets. But why are they unsettled? Because they have a lack of information. President Trump has asymmetric information for what he's willing to do. We don't disclose it. And again, with President Trump...
that the strategic uncertainty will make sure that we get the best deal possible. That's what's happening. What are they talking about?
Sorry? Who pays tariffs?
Excuse me.
Well, Congressman, if the... Congressman, if the exporters... They dislike tariffs so much. Why wouldn't they if I think what you're trying to get me to say.
It's a very complicated question.
I'm reclaiming my time, Mr. Secretary.
No, no, no.
Sorry?
Excuse me.
He wants to answer other questions. Well, Congressman, if the... Congressman, if the exporters... They dislike tariffs so much. Why wouldn't they if I think what you're trying to get me to say.
It's a very complicated question.
I'm reclaiming my time, Mr. Secretary.
No. No. Generally no. No.
But you don't recall him being there? Congressman, I did not recall that individual's name, but that individual was terminated. He was terminated.
Not by Treasury, sir.
