00:00You put out on Truth Social a post regarding your conversation with President Xi.
00:05Can you talk about whether or not you feel that trade talks, trade relations are back on track after appearing to be a little bit off track last week?
00:15A little bit off track. It was only the complexity. It's pretty complex stuff.
00:20We had a very good conversation with President Xi a little while ago, just before your arrival.
00:25In fact, we just hung up and they said, you're here. I said, that's pretty good, too.
00:30Two great leaders of the world in a very short period of time.
00:34We had a very good talk and we've straightened out any complexity.
00:39It's very complex stuff and we straightened it out.
00:44The agreement was we're going to have Scott and Howard and Jameson will be going and meeting with their top people and continue it forward.
00:55But no, I think we have everything. I think we're in very good shape with China and the trade deal.
01:00We have a deal with China, as you know, but we were straightening out some of the points having to do mostly with rare earth magnets and some other things.
01:11So those reduced trade tariff rates, they remain in effect?
01:14We have the deal. I mean, we've had a deal. We announced the deal.
01:19And we'll be, I guess you could say, I wouldn't even say finalizing it up, Scott.
01:24I would say we have a deal and we're going to just make sure that everybody understands what the deal is.
01:29Okay?
01:30We had a really good conversation.
01:32By the way, he invited me to China and I invited him here.
01:35We both accepted.
01:36So I'll be going there with the first lady at a certain point and he'll be coming here hopefully with the first lady of China.
