We had a very good call. I have been strong on Mexico. I love the Mexican people. I work with Mexican people all the time. Mexico has out negotiated and beat us to a pulp.

We had a talk that lasted an hour. But the U.S. cannot continue to lose business and millions of people losing their jobs. We're no longer going to be the country that doesn't know what it's doing. In the end I think it will be good for both countries. But it was a very good phone call.
