Before we get into the nuts and bolts of what you're doing, how did it come about that you got this ambassadorship?

Well, you know, we were working very hard, my husband Brian and I, and our family, of course, in Atlanta and Buckhead for all these years.

I've known President Trump for almost 32 years when I was running the Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum in New York City.

He was one of my really great supporters.

You know, he loves the veterans.

He loves the police, the first responders.

So this was like a really nice friendship that we've had over all these years.

Fantastic country to be stationed in.

So all that seems to come back around, you know, Bill?

Yes, sir.

You know, it's funny.

You said Imus called me the rear admiral.

My mother called me right after this, and she says, William, do you understand what Imus said? Doesn't he know that you're not in the military? And I said, well, Mom, yes, he does.

And she said, oh, gross, and she hung the phone up.

Anyway, that's Irish for you.

Yes, they did.

I wonder, given that

backdrop, do you have a much more difficult job than your predecessors? Interesting question.

No, actually, I will tell you, yesterday I went to one of the largest potato processing plants called Agristo.

They are making a billion dollar investment in America.

I was talking with Google and Amazon.

They are making a six billion dollar investment here in Belgium.

Belgium, U.S. trade is off the charts today.

And I was listening to your remarks earlier on Bloomberg television that you were saying that, you know, you're in the capital of, you know, the place where NATO has its headquarters, that that alliance 70, 80 years old could be over.
