Like you could say like what he put on Venezuela, he said in -- to Venezuela, he said, if you do business and you buy Venezuelan oil, right, I'll put -- your country will pay a tariff. Right? So it's economic sanction, not a sanction. Right? You could say, "I don't want you to do it," but you also make an economic penalty.
