Here it is, Fiona Hill's testimony from 2019:

Dave Troy@davetroy
In 2019, Fiona Hill testified that the Russian government was “signaling very strongly that they wanted to somehow make some very strange swap agreement between Venezuela and Ukraine.” (Search: Venezuela) i.e. we get Venezuela, they get Ukraine. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/6543…

@PatrickMoorhead Mexico prez announced 1 month delay in that tariffs Monday by agreeing to send 10k Mex national guardsmen to border.

We’ve been talking a lot about diversified technology supply chains a lot since the pandemic.
We’re about to find out how diversified they are with the new crop of tariffs on China (10%) and Mexico (25%).
There’s more PCA, PCB, PIM, and final assembly in Mexico than you might think. Think companies Foxconn, Flex, Sanmina, Jabil, TE Connectivity and more who manufacture there and export to the U.S. Wages in the Mexico manufacturing export sector are around $5 per hour.
Of course, China dominates the field in all areas of tech production including non leading edge chips.
Prices will rise for end products that have tariffs, plain and simple, until some of it is moved to different countries. It takes 6 months or more start to finish of a simple new final assembly plant and more time as complexity increases. Manufacturers are diversifying more to countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, and India. I don’t expect a lot more on shoring to the U.S. given labor costs and regulations. Typical export manufacturing hourly rate in China and Mexico are around $5 per hour with much lower labor and environmental regulations.
I’m less clear on the tech impact to the 10% Canadian energy tariff. Guessing minimal but I’m sure this one will jump start more drilling and NLG in the U.S.
I’ll be working today and next week to put a fuller piece of work together for advisory clients.

@PatrickMoorhead So chips and related electronics to be tariffed "eventually" per Prez, although there will be many related industries already drawn into the new tariffs.
