Well, first of all, sir, I've had meetings with more than 50 small lenders and So I want to clarify that. I would also say that in game theory, strategic uncertainty, of which you seem to like the name Crazy Ivan. Well, it's your words, correct? Didn't you use Crazy Ivan? Well, you've used it five times. Answer the question, Mr. Chairman.
I am saying the strategic uncertainty is part of negotiations. Should we say, oh, here's what we'll accept. Please take this.
Sir, the history would show that it is a complicated mix of who pays the tariffs over various times.
Thank you.
Please, Scott. Sir, it's been a momentous 100 days with you at the helm. And I view this 100 days as setting the table for peace deals, trade deals, tax deals. So the next 100 days will be harvesting. You've created negotiating leverage and leadership. They're going to yield remarkable results. Energy costs have plummeted. Mortgage rates are down. Food costs are moving lower.
And American families are finding their financial footing again.
Thanks to President Trump's tireless efforts to secure a lasting peace, I am glad to announce the signing of today's historic economic partnership agreement between the United States and Ukraine establishing the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund.
This partnership allows the United States to invest alongside Ukraine to unlock Ukraine's growth assets, mobilize American talent, capital and governance standards that will improve Ukraine's investment climate and accelerate Ukraine's economic recovery. The Development Finance Corporation will participate and help to establish this fund in collaboration with the government of Ukraine.
Today's agreement signals clearly to Russian leadership that the Trump administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign and prosperous Ukraine over the long term. It's time for this cruel and senseless war to end. The killing must stop, and both the United States and the government of Ukraine look forward to quickly operationalizing this historic economic partnership.
Great stuff. Tom, your thoughts?
a deal done done done done but i need to wait for their prime minister and their parliament to give its approval which i expect shortly i'm not going to tell you what country let the president just you and me here and a couple million people hopefully let the president decide so and then there are country after country where we're just working through the details but you have to remember they have prime ministers they have parliament they have to work through their process but all of these are going to be coming and what they're going to be is they're going to be incredibly smart
They're investing $165 billion in 1,100 acres in Arizona, and they're building the highest tech chip manufacturing semiconductors and 4,000 employees. You know, American tradecraft, right? Technicians doing every kind of work. The classic foundation of America. He's building it. They had 14,000 people.
They're expecting 40,000 people to build the rest of their plants and to employ 20,000 people for the rest of time. This is all driven. You never saw a site like that. And this is all driven by your tariff policies. No chance this would be happening without you.

Play this clip. The 18 key trading relationship. The president described them to the trade team as bespoke. Every deal is different and he's going to be involved. So I'll wait to hear from him.
Larry, it's just the momentum. It is President Trump, the amount of momentum, the transparency, the energy that he has brought back to Washington. As you said earlier, the common sense, look at the success on securing the border. Everyone said, oh, this can't be done. And some of the targets that the Biden administration had were in the tens of thousands.
And I think a few weeks ago, nine people came across the border, most of whom we let in for decades.
As I've said many times, I think from the Chinese side, these high tariffs are unsustainable. I believe that U.S. buyers did a substantial amount of pre-ordering, and now the factories in China are having to shut down. And I've seen some very large... estimates of potential worker layoffs if these tariffs stay in place.
So what I can tell you is the tariffs are unsustainable on the Chinese side, that we have a deficit with them. The surplus country always suffers more. And they sell us roughly five times more than we sell them. Subdeals.
I believe that he is referring to sub deals within the negotiations we're doing.
Brian, probably you get the best reviews of anyone in the administration outside the president. Your thoughts about the U.S.-China standoff right now?
