They're running almost a $230 million surplus, and Germany alone is $60 or $70 billion. I should say billion, excuse me, $20 or $30 billion surplus. Germany alone is $70 or $80 billion. When you start looking in depth at the asymmetrical tariffs, depending on the particular commodity, electronics, pharmaceuticals, cars, food, it's about double R's. In other words, they charge us 5%.
