arms control in east asia is inchoate important now as the inf treaty falls away, where his new start with the future of arms control in northeast asia? so i think building the free and open indo-pacific, dealing with china, et cetera. building a protective wall around and sustaining this asset, while it may take a little bit of political capital, a little bit of statesmanship, a little bit of effort in the short term is worthwhile for the longer-term future. because we will need it again, whether it's because of north korea, china, or the regional comments or shared commons issues. so i think minimizing the potential impact of this current trade dispute is my priority and i would like to encourage ways to address this particular dispute. i'm just less optimistic than the short term we can manage that and i'm a little more focus on maintaining this asset that we have a protecting it for the future. >> hanky. patrick? >> bruce, thank you very much, and thank you to let me commend you for the panel he put together today, this whole program today. the paper you just put out is a very exc
