THE PRESIDENT: That’s right, Jim. We know you well.
So these are the biggest in the world and we’re going to be talking to them. And we want them to build more cars in the United States. And also, build them here and ship them overseas. We’re doing a reverse act, and that’s going to be something, I think, that’s happening, and we see it happening. A lot of it has to do with the great tax cuts and tax incentives that people have been given. And we have other incentives coming.
So we appreciate you all being here. And thank you very much, everybody. Appreciate it.
