[00:00:00]  I think President Trump wants to push a very deep ongoing decoupling from China, and I think he wants to promote that decoupling not just with China, but with,
[00:00:15]  let's say, drawing at least a secondary moat around near allies like Mexico, Canada, parts of Europe, Japan, and South Korea.
[00:00:25]  I would suspect that is the longer goal.
[00:00:27]  I'm not going to claim to speak for the Trump administration.
[00:00:30]  In pure financial terms, with the trade deficit, I think we export roughly $150 billion to China, and I think we import, I want to say, about $400 billion a year from China.
[00:00:41]  In pure financial terms, that has a bigger impact on China.
[00:00:46]  But as we also know, in an authoritarian communist regime that is strikingly nationalistic at the moment We've really been building to this point for some years.
