"This pause is not a setback; it's an opportunity. It allows us to reflect, to consult further with our capitals, and to return with renewed clarity and flexibility not to keep negotiating indefinitely but to continute and to close, to close the deal. That's a choice, and it's the right one." #IGWG6
