They've used to modernise their weapons, and with that technology they stole from us, from our missiles and our weapons systems, they are using those 70 billions dollars to build weapons to aim at us and to threaten American cities and threaten the lives of every American person. Does a government like this deserve normal trade relations? I say no.
