Let's play it.

Senator, let me start with the proposition that it just seems to me that on tariffs, the administration has lost the plot.

And in particular, let's look at what happened in the last couple days.

Just a few days ago, Canada, our closest neighbor,

basically learned they were going to get 50% tariffs.

At the same time, when it comes to China, one of the biggest trade cheats there is, it seems that the administration rolls out the red carpet.

You're standing up a so-called board of trade to lower tariffs on goods from China.

It looks like you've thrown in the towel.

So a couple of questions, yes or no.

When the new tariff on Canada takes effect, will Canada have higher tariffs than China on some products?

Well, let me work through that math.

I mean, the 50% tariff is higher than a number of tariffs on China.

The question is, are there some areas where the Canadian tariffs are higher than China's?

And it seems to me that 50% is the accurate one.

We'll look forward to having that information on the record because our staff believes that there are instances where the Canadians are going to pay higher tariffs than the Chinese are, and that's not right.
