I think we could work with a new government.
Hillary ClintonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I did an interview with Mike Froman a week or so ago.

He said, well, does it really make a difference if Netanyahu leaves? I said, yeah, I think it really does make a difference.
Hillary ClintonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And of course, it depends upon who's in the coalition.
Anthony ScaramucciGUEST
It was a very ham-handed way to do it.
Anthony ScaramucciGUEST
Ultimately, Barack Obama, we talked about him with the Iranian deal, Obama and Mike Froman, his U.S. trade representative, both of those men, Obama and Mike Froman, I went to law school with back in the 80s, they created something called the TPP, the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Anthony ScaramucciGUEST
And they had aligned America with 11 other Asian nations, and we were pivoting to the Pacific to contain China.
Anthony ScaramucciGUEST
That would have been the right remedy to help the American worker.
Trish ReganHOST
I think there still is something to this on China.
Trish ReganHOST
Let's go to the CFR's Michael Froman, who was explaining this on CNN, that part of it may have been China.
Michael FromanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The Trump administration is pressing Canada, as well as other countries, to adopt a common approach vis-a-vis China, whether it's a common external tariff or export controls or ensuring that Chinese products, inputs, don't get inserted into products in Canada that will then be imported into the United States.
Michael FromanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And that's a new challenge.
Hillary ClintonGUEST
So if the Israelis wanna vote for that again, then I think the United States has to take a very tough position.

Patrick BoyleHOST
This leaves the government with a massive $175 billion problem, as that is the estimated amount of illegal IEPA tariffs that have been collected over the last year.
Patrick BoyleHOST
As former US Trade Representative Michael Froman recently explained on the FT Economics show, it is a matter of settled law that if tariffs or taxes have been collected either by mistake or incorrectly, they have to be refunded.
Patrick BoyleHOST
He says that there are open questions about the exact process and there may be some open issues to be worked through in the courts, but the fundamental question about whether refunds are due or not is well-established precedent.
Patrick BoyleHOST
The way it works when an importer pays a tariff is that the money doesn't go straight to the Treasury.
Elizabeth OrtelNARRATOR
The Iranians are willing to suffer pain, even if to keep Mr. Trump in the box he created for himself.
Elizabeth OrtelNARRATOR
Michael Froman, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations, said a continuing tit-for-tat is most likely for a significant period of time.
Elizabeth OrtelNARRATOR
This is probably the new normal for us, he said, of the periodic strikes by the U.S. firing on ships and various blockades in the Strait of Hormuz.
Elizabeth OrtelNARRATOR
He added that it was unlikely that would be a black and white situation in which there's a total ceasefire or the Strait of Hormuz is totally open.
