The Chinese need to move soon. The important thing is not what was said but who said it.

I am hopeful. I think the stars are aligned on this. The Chinese have stuck their little toe in the water, and it didn't freeze off. I think the time is right for them to take the next step.

Governments should not be interfering with the markets.

Japan's exports to us are only three percent of its gross domestic product (GDP), ... Their total exposure to trade is about half that of ours, in terms of percentage.

You've got to offset the losses. If we don't get the market access we need, we're going to turn to our Congress and say that we can't support this agreement.

This is not what we wanted, and we have serious concerns.
