mr. speaker. mr. speaker, at the end of the first week of president trump's presidency, he announced a great fanfare that he was imposing 25% tariffs on our neighbors canada to the north and mexico to the south. the "wall street journal" hardly a democratic newspaper, described this effort as the dumbest trade war ever. and it was dumb because number one, it violates the trade agreement that president trump himself signed into law in 2020, the u.s.-mexico free trade agreement, canada free trade agreements. tariffs like that are completely violative of that agreement. number two, canada and mexico made it crystal clear they would retaliate with tire riffs of their own aimed at u.s. businesses and sectors of all sorts. it was mostly dumb it's going to raise price force americans. i think most of us in the chamber who were on the ballot last november still remember that was the number one issue that americans have. it's not going to raise prices not because i am he saying it, the american farm bureau, rep

mr. speaker. members of the house, i simply want to follow you will on the comments made by my colleague, representative harris, representative dean art. had the opportunity to serve in the north carolina general assembly with him for many years. and talk about a man who embodies a servant's heart. that is dean art. part of the rest of the story that representative harris didn't get a chance to mention, because of the time constraint, is this was no ordinary thing. mr. moore: when representative art saw this trailer on fire, he had to actually go inside and the lady was in a wheelchair and i think he described her wheelchair as being as hot as a pan on a stove. and got her out of there and clearly saved her life. but the one thing that's very telling about representative art was he didn't give credit to himself. he gave credit to god. he said, something told him to go back and had him on that particular route that day at that time. to save that lady's life. and so on behalf of all of our colleague
