Let me just change the focus of the question for a brief comment.
What if it were the European community dealing with TPP? It wouldn't just be the interests of Germany or the interests of Germany and France; it would take into account the broader interests of the community.
All I'm saying is that in recognizing that it is more complicated than just having a U.S.-Japan negotiation, this trade relationship among our three countries is far broader than Japan and the U.S. We have to be able to make that point. If the United States is going to shift the focus of the negotiation today from a U.S.-Japan to a broader one, a Japan-NAFTA, they have to get that direction from the leaders, particularly from the president.
We have to make this point. It's easier for a trade negotiator to have one person, just his or her country, on the other side of the table. We have to make sure they understand and are taking into account the depth and breadth and remarkable impact that NAFTA has on all three of our economies.
I think that can only come out of a North American leaders' meeting with that broader agenda. That's the basic point I'm making.
