And I will say that like Trump is not entirely alone here. It was interesting to me that Debbie Dingell, who's a Democrat from Michigan, She said, like, look, tariffs are a tool and we should think about using them as a tool. I think where the discomfort comes from is that Trump is using them as a bit of a sledgehammer and they'd like more of a scalpel approach.

And she also said the trade agreement between U.S., Mexico and Canada was recently renegotiated under Donald Trump. Right. And she's saying, like, look, maybe we don't need to be doing this. The United States doesn't need to be doing this with like scattershot tariffs. They need to renegotiate this broader trade agreement between these allies and to get a better deal for the US.

Do it as a big structured reform versus a really unpredictable strategy, especially because tariffs do create a great sense of uncertainty in the US economy. I would also say, too, that Donald Trump is convinced that tariffs will increase revenue for the United States of America. And he is convinced that tariffs are going to be a pay for for the tax cuts that they want to renew.

And I think that's creating a bit of unease on Capitol Hill because it's a little hard economically to always explain how tariffs will increase revenues. But the White House has made that very clear that that's their economic strategy here. And I just don't think on this particular economic issue, he's willing to show a ton of flexibility.

It's a great question. I do think economically speaking, the U.S. sometimes has a weakened hand because we get a ton of our produce from Mexico. And if you start instituting broad-based tariffs, what's the thing that's going to go up? Grocery prices. I mean, that is almost like the easiest way for everyday Americans to start feeling those price impacts. And so I do think that while...

I kind of do think the US has the upper hand in negotiating these because of the size of our economy. I think that you can't be completely politically blind to the potential blowback against Trump and Republicans for rising grocery prices.

This is taking away a critical element of our national security system. And it's affecting people's lives from not just a humanitarian perspective, but we're leaving a huge vacuum for China and Russia.
