It's a great honor to have President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of the Philippines, a great family, great family legacy, and highly respected in this country. I know that because you have many friends in the Philippines, and there's great respect, or I couldn't say it, so congratulations. We're going to be talking about trade, we're going to be talking about war and peace. They're a very important nation militarily, and we've had some great drills lately. We're back with them. I think I can say that the last administration was not getting along with them too well. They didn't get along with anybody, they didn't know. Honestly, they didn't know what they were doing. But we have some fantastic military relationships with the Philippines, and that's been reinstituted. And Pete, I would say that you couldn't be happier with the relationship. So I just want to say it's an honor to have you. We're going to talk about trade today, and we're very close to Finnegan Sheena trade deal. Big trade deal, actually, and we do a lot of business with you, it's a lot of income coming in for both groups, but I was surprised to see the kind of numbers, they're very big, and they're going to get bigger under what we're doing and what we're proposing. And I just want to thank you for being with us, it's a great honor. You and your representatives, it's really a great, great honor.
