Plan on calling your counterpart? We will see what happens with China. That it's it's important. I think it's unsustainable from the Chinese side. So maybe they'll call me one day.

Or is the president considering postponing implementation to negotiate?

That was actually confusing to investors because it was some kind of other formula, and the countries themselves seemed kind of random.
