Thank you, Chair.
Thank you for coming.
I had the opportunity to travel to Ukraine with the Department of Foreign Affairs a number of years ago, as a matter of fact. I was quite shocked to see the connection still—and I want to go in the same vein as Mr. Ritz was going—with the diaspora here, which is remarkable. In some instances they were teaching the Ukrainians some of their older customs that they'd maintained here. When I think about trade deals, and this has been something that has been a revolving theme, oftentimes it's the unintended consequences. Usually those are quite good. Sometimes they're negative, but usually they're positive.
When I think about that huge diaspora that is so connected to Ukraine, my first question would be, how engaged are they? Second, do you see some other avenue? You've mentioned where we're strong and where most of the trade is going to be, but could that possibly spill over into other trade facilitations and agreements, or just trade in general, because of the diaspora?
