00:00We made very good progress on the technical details of the agreement in terms
00:29of the overall agreement itself.
00:34Our Chinese counterparts have come with very aggressive asks.
00:38We will see if we can get there.
00:40At present, we are not willing to sacrifice our national security for a social media app,
00:49and we will see where we get today.
00:51I think on the TikTok deal itself, we're very close, or we've resolved the issue.
00:58There are a range of other asks that are unresolved.
01:02I think it's important to realize, as the ambassador said, if we don't reach an agreement on TikTok,
01:09it doesn't affect the overall relationship between the two countries.
01:13It's still very good at the highest levels, and as I said, Ambassador Greer and myself
01:20have great respect for our counterparts.
01:23Thank you all.
