00:00Mr. President, are you going to announce tariffs on things like iPhones, tablets?
00:03Well, that's going to be announced very soon, and we'll be discussing it.
00:07But we'll also talk to companies.
00:09You know, you have to show a certain flexibility.
00:13Nobody should be so rigid.
00:15You have to have a certain flexibility.
00:18And we're doing really well, and financially, our country's going to be stronger than it's ever been.

00:28Can you say what times?
00:29No, I'll be announcing it in the not-too-distant future, but it's going to be separately announced.
00:34Mr. President, do you have any reaction to—
00:36Very much like, if you look, automobiles.

00:41Nobody's complaining about it.
00:43Went through the process.

00:45Steel, aluminum, and some other things.
00:49So—and by the way, our country has taken in billions and billions of dollars on those tariffs.
00:56Billions of dollars.
00:57And maybe almost as importantly, or maybe more importantly, automobile companies, steel companies, steel companies and factories, and aluminum companies and factories are opening up in our country.
01:10But we're taking in billions of dollars on just those three categories.
01:15Have a look.
