All right, so China says, ah, we're going to do all kinds of drills,

and they send all kinds of boats in the Straits of Taiwan to scare the Taiwanese.

They're not going to import certain foods anymore from

at least temporarily. So one of my go-to guys in foreign policy

is General David Petraeus, okay? And he and I have known each other for a long time. I think

he's the smartest guy as far as an American's looking at the overall foreign policy picture.

We don't know.

And then she would have to do it if he wants to retain his job as president of the country.
