It's psyops.

Why would the government of Ontario, I'm told that they have spent or were planning to spend up to $75 million on these ads to come across the U.S.

border.

So what was the purpose of that other than to sway public opinion?

And, you know, it's some kind of propaganda that the

The premier of Ontario unilaterally launched.

Kristen, I've been traveling since this unfortunate event happened.

I know that the ad's been taken down.

So, you know, we'll have to see.

But I just think it was terrible, terrible judgment by this premier, you know, who has a bit of a reputation for being a hothead.

Well, I'm sure he knows.

So this was the fifth meeting that I've had with my Chinese counterpart, the vice premier, Hu Lifeng, and we covered a wide range of issues.

And I think we've reached a substantial framework for the two leaders who will meet in Korea next Thursday.

So on the table, the president had given me maximum leverage when he threatened 100% tariffs if the Chinese imposed their rare earth

global export controls.

So I think we have averted that so that the tariffs will be averted.

And we have a regular quarterly meeting with the Chinese.

It was scheduled for November 10th or before November 10th.

I don't think we will have to have that.

So we have been rolling the tariffs quarterly.
