Or for you this is something that it's excluded from the table right now. Thank you. Thanks for your question. Jorge, look, we don't comment on comments, but to be clear, we also don't share the US assessment of what constitutes a non tariff barrier. I mean tacit speaking in trade policy, you know, there are quite clear definitions about what, what is a non tariff barrier. VAT is certainly not one. According to our assessment. We've said that from this podium many times. I repeat it here now. And as regards our European, you know, tech and digital regulation. I say this with the blessing of my dear colleague, Thomas, we're talking about separate things here, and we will not be conflating the two in our negotiations with the US. Applause.
