Products into the vietnamese market. And, over that course of time weve also through our investments and through working in those communities, weve actually built our nearly our 70th school on the ground in vietnam. And so what we can say is that theres not only the power of trade, but theres the power of u. S. ÷uf of businesses to engage in whats known as commercial day diplomacy. so, in the case of cuba, cuba is alkx i ratjt when we normalize relations, we would have to ensure that we would gain the same access in cuba that the other wto members have.
