What do we know about who she's actually got to meet. We understand Marco Rubio. Is she going to get a meeting with a trade representative, which is why she's there.This is very unclear. That's the problem. We really only know about Rubio.This has been announced in his agenda by the State Department. However, as we obviously know, Rubio has not been involved in the trade negotiations. So it's, you know, kind of a useless meeting to to say it bluntly.We still don't know if she's going to meet the president b ...

Thank you, Mr. . Chairman. Um, you took out the word or the notion that uncertainty has diminished from this statement.Does that mean uncertainty has increased. And I'm just wondering, the administration has struck several deals with uh large trading partners where it seems like we now know what the rate is going to be.
