Well, as the rest of President Trump's appointees move through the confirmation process,

with a 15% tariff on coal and liquefied natural gas, plus 10% on crude oil, agricultural

machinery, and certain cars. Trump's initial tariffs included Mexico and Canada, but both

Obviously, we'll have to study it on our end. There are obviously legalities involved.
