Air force Quote by Paul Ryan
“There's no "agreement." The president Donald Trump and the chief of staff called me from Air Force One today to discuss what was discussed - and it was a discussion, not an agreement or negotiation. We need border security and enforcement as part of any agreement. I think that's something the Democrats are beginning to understand.”

![“Prepare by knowing your walk away [conditions] and by building the number of variables you can work with during the negotiation... you need to have a walk away... a combination of price, terms, and deliverables that represents the least you will accept. Without one, you have no negotiating road map.” quote by Max Keiser](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8aa/max-keiser-13075_accepting_prepare-by-knowing-your-walk-away-condit_2136373.jpg)
