00:00You have done for the California rice market into Japan.
00:03It has been monumental for our industry.
00:06Us in the South are really struggling.
00:09I mean, this is not just a crisis.
00:10I would say it's almost market dynamics that really are true anti-competitive nature.
00:20Countries are dumping rice into this country today.
00:23We've never seen imports this great.
00:26Which countries?
00:26India, Thailand, even China into Puerto Rico.
00:31Puerto Rico used to be one of the largest markets for U.S. rice.
00:35The tariffs are working, but we need to double down because...
00:39You want more?
00:40Well, they're cheating, right?
00:42They're just subsidizing and...
00:45Tell me about India.
00:46Why is India allowed to do that?
00:48They have to pay tariffs.
00:50Do they have an exemption on rice?
00:52No, sir.
00:52We're still working on their trade deal.
00:54Yeah, but they should be dumping.
00:55I mean, I heard that from others.
00:57You can't do that.
00:58So Puerto Rico used to do a lot of business and now you're...
01:01100% Puerto Rico was U.S.-based.
01:03That's true.
01:04All right.
01:05So easy to settle.
01:08Okay.
01:08But there's others, too, and I can get you a full list as well.
01:09You can get me a full list.
01:11Of course I can.
01:11I wish I was here under better terms.
01:14I'll tell you, I think the rice industry thanks you sincerely for what you have done for the
01:19California rice market and to Japan.
01:22It has been monumental for our industry.
01:25But us in the South are really struggling.
01:28I mean, this is not just a crisis.
01:30I would say it's almost market dynamics that really are true anti-competitive nature, right?
01:40So it follows what you sent out this weekend.
01:43And we do believe that countries are dumping rice into this country today.
01:48We've never seen imports this great.
01:51Which countries?
01:52India, Thailand, even China into Puerto Rico.
01:56Puerto Rico used to be one of the largest markets for U.S. rice.
01:59We haven't shipped rice into Puerto Rico in years.
02:02So this has been happening for years as it didn't start during your administration.
02:07But unfortunately, we're seeing it in a much bigger way now.
02:12The tariffs are working, but we need to double down because...
02:17You want more?
02:18I mean, I understand.
02:18Well, they're cheating, right?
02:20They're just subsidizing and...
02:22Tell me about India.
02:24Why is India allowed to do that?
02:26They have to pay tariffs.
02:28Do they have an exemption on rice?
02:29No, sir.
02:30We're still working on their trade deal.
02:32Yeah, but they should be dumping.
02:33I mean, I heard that from other states.
02:35You can't do that.
02:36There's a WTO case against India right now.
02:38Give me the countries, if you could.
02:41Go ahead.
02:41India?
02:42Who else?
02:43So India...
02:43Mark it down.
02:44What's your skin?
02:44Yes, sir.
02:46India, Thailand, China, into Puerto Rico.
02:50Not into the continental U.S., but into Puerto Rico.
02:54Those are the main culprits.
02:56So Puerto Rico used to do a lot of business, and now you're...
02:59100% Puerto Rico was U.S.-based on...
03:01All right.
03:02So easy to settle.
03:05Okay.
03:06But there's others, too, and I can get you a full list as well.
03:08You can get me a full list.
03:09Of course I can.
03:09All right?
03:10So...
03:10Go ahead.
