Respectfully, growing an extremely tiny number by 50% still results in an extremely tiny number: 50% is a nice number, but going from 1% to 2% is still very small. I don't have the exact figures in front of me.
These are efforts that we should continually engage in, but there is something in international trade called the gravity model, which essentially says that countries are more likely to trade with each other based on the size of the economy and based on their distance from each other. In our case, our first and largest trading partner is always going to be the United States, because we can walk to it and it is the largest economy in the world. It is extremely difficult to grow trade with other countries. We should do so. We should continue to try to do so, but these efforts will always be incremental. They will always be at the margin.
