Yeah, Nikole, I think knowing Senator Graham, he was such an expert in foreign policy. That answer, I think, struck a lot of people. But as you mentioned, most voters right now, they care about economic issues more than anything else, and new US tariffs are set to take effect on Canada tomorrow morning. I'm hoping you can tell us more about the latest on trade talks. Yeah, well, obviously these are pretty steep tariffs, should they take effect at midnight, a 50% retaliatory tariff on the part of US against Canada. But the president a short time ago, again as he was headed here to South Carolina, said that these talks that have been underway throughout today have been going well and that he does think it's possible, potentially, to reach a deal. Now, again, we don't know kind of what the outlines of a potential deal may look like, but certainly the hope is that an agreement can be reached to stave off such steep tariffs and, obviously, repair what has been a very strained relationship between the US and Canada, economically at least, with respect to these tariffs as well, Lana.

All right, Nikole Killion traveling with the president. Thank you, Nikole.
