00:00I have to see what the law says.
00:01Okay, what else?
00:02Can you say, did you agree to lowering tariffs for any of the countries that you spoke to
00:07today?
00:08No, no.
00:09What you understand, Jennifer, you have to understand this.
00:10We have massive surplus countries that we're dealing with.
00:15We have massive deficits.
00:16We've got to straighten that out because you can't continue to be there.
00:20It's been that way for years now, and it can't go on any longer.
00:25And we're the piggy bank.
00:26We have all the advantages.
00:28Forget markets for a second.
00:29We have all the advantages.
00:30We're going to straighten out.
00:31We're going to become a wealthy nation again, wealthy like never before.
00:36And we're not going to let other nations that have been ripping us off, whether it's China
00:40or the European Union, with all of the European nations that have just made, it's been like
00:47a feast.
00:48Look, the European Union was formed for one reason.
00:51You know what that was?
00:53To rip off the United States.
00:54So put that in your bonnet.
00:57I hope you had a good flight.
00:58Have a good time.
00:59Thank you, sir.
