We review all foreign transactions for national security. As I said, this was very much the case when it came to Neo Lithium. This was absolutely reviewed. As I said, anyone who suggests otherwise is not grounded in facts.

This was reviewed from the moment we were made aware of the transaction. We not only applied the review, but we applied enhanced scrutiny under the new guidelines.
