00:00I mean, some saying she's walking a bit of a tightrope here, sort of in a way having to choose between Washington and Brussels.
00:07And I'm just wondering how much pressure you think she's under from European leaders to somehow bring back something from this trip.
00:16And, you know, especially with regards to the tariff situation.
00:21I mean, how do you rate the chances of bringing something back to the whole of the European Union?
00:27I'm sure it's much more likely with with Georgia Maloney than it is with anybody else in Europe at this point, with maybe a few exceptions like Poland.
00:35But, you know, look, again, she's politically aligned with the president.
00:38She's politically aligned with many of the voters in Europe.
00:41So I think if anyone can do it, it will be her.
00:44You know, the challenge is, you know, she's not she she well, she might be representing the EU in this situation.
00:50You know, it's it's a multilateral institution.
00:53I'm not sure that, you know, she can really cut a deal, so to speak.
00:57And I think, you know, that she would probably leave that up to the trade people.
01:01Remember, Italy only has a two or three billion.
01:03I think it's three billion dollar trade surplus with the United States.
01:07So in many ways, that puts her in a much better position, much like Keir Starmer for the UK, where her individual or the Italy's individual trade surplus is relatively meaningless.
01:18So, you know, that might help the situation because I don't think the president would have, you know, a problem with the fact that, you know, Italy, yes, they export more than they import from the U.S.
01:30But on the other hand, it's not significant.
01:32So.
01:33So.
01:34So.
