00:00I spent more time with them. Which way am I facing? This way?

00:04This has been really good. I mean, we've had really great interactions.

00:08I don't agree with that assessment. I mean, look, at the end of the day, the United States

00:12has built these tremendous trade imbalances over the last 30 or 40 years. It's unfair

00:16to American and American workers, and American, in addition to threaten our industrial capacity,

00:21trade needed to be revisited. The president campaigned on that,

00:24and that's what he's doing, and he's resetting it on a global scale.

00:28At the end of the day, look, I think countries are going to trade with multiple countries.

00:32We don't view this as an opening for anyone. We don't view it that way. We view it as an opportunity

01:04is a mature leader, understands that that's not a sustainable dynamic. It's one that had

01:09to be changed, and that's what the president's doing. So we're going to be okay.

01:12And in discussing...

01:13You know, the baseline will take effect the 1st of August, but obviously,

01:16as the president's made clear, there are opportunities for adjustments based on

01:20arrangements that could be made between now and then. But beyond that, it's been very positive.

01:24All of our engagements here have been very positive. We've been very warmly received, and...

01:28...from U.S. dependents in key areas, such as security, as Tokyo faces the prospect of tariffs.

01:34Did you discuss that in your meeting with the generals?

01:36No, we haven't. But at the end...
