00:00Secretary, Italy and Ireland are among the countries that are complaining about the terrorists.
00:07What's your response to this foreign pressure?
00:09Well, let me say this.
00:10First of all, yesterday obviously was a big day, and it was an effectuation of the president's
00:15vision of national security, of food security, of putting our Americans first, our farmers
00:21and our ranchers, which as Secretary of Agriculture is really what I'm focused on.
00:24I know we're hearing from countries that are kind of complaining about what's happening,
00:27but I have a chart.
00:30This is, sort of shows you the exports of other countries, India, Taiwan, Japan.
00:36This is the average, 14%.
00:38Well down here, you've got little bitty United States of America, right?
00:42I mean, this is what he's trying to fix.
00:45And for our farmers and our ranchers, for our farmers and our ranchers, they understand
00:50that there may be a short time of uncertainty, but for the long haul, as we restructure the
00:56American economy and the government, American economy and our private sector, with the
01:01government playing a role in that, President Trump's vision of using tariffs, again, I'm
01:05not surprised there's some complaining, but at the end of the day, this president committed
01:09to putting Americans first, and as part of that are our farmers and our ranchers.
01:13I'll probably do one more.
01:14How long is short term?
01:15How long is short term?
01:16Can I ask you about the financial markets?
01:17Because I know you had this chart that you just showed us, but financial markets are
01:20tanking today.
01:22Does Wall Street see things differently than the administration?
01:26Why are they declining so sharply?
01:27Well, listen, y'all.
01:28We are a couple hours in.
01:30The president announced this yesterday afternoon.
01:33We knew that there would be some of that as people are adjusting, but at the end of the
01:39day, yesterday marked step one.
01:41This will be a short time of uncertainty, and then we'll move back to the prosperity
01:45that this president has envisioned that he is so bold and so willing to fight for.
01:49And I couldn't be more proud and stand next to him.
01:52The new golden age of prosperity will move in.
01:54Again, for me, I'm really focused on our farmers and our ranchers, and that's what we'll continue
01:58to focus on, but it will reach every corner of America as we are restructuring.
02:03Thank y'all so much.
02:04How long is short term?
02:05How long is short term?
02:06How long?
