What does Rebecca Heinrichs think?

Let's ask her.

Hey, Rebecca, great to see you.

Hey, good to be here.

All right, so your thoughts about the president's optimism? So this is really common for President Trump. When he's negotiating, he almost kind of tries to will things in the direction he wants it to go. His public comments are part of the negotiation.

You can do it the hard way or the harder way.

You can either give us this opportunity to remove the nuclear material, get some international,
