There is a reason that all of these nations continued to negotiate while this had the risk of being struck down, right? The structure is in place. If they, if the administration just goes back and says, you know what, and, and I would assume, right, because there's people that are thinking about this every day, all day, not on Fridays with us, that the US Trade representative already has the case in place for all of the most important countries or nations that are going to be impacted by this for section 232 or section 301.
