The United States has already struck 200 trade deals, President Donald Trump said in an interview this week — but he refused to say with whom.
Trump’s comments come just two weeks after he announced a 90-day pause on most of the sweeping global tariffs he imposed earlier this month to allow time for trade negotiations with hundreds of countries slugged by the punishing levies. Only China was exempted from the 90-day pause.
“I’ve made 200 deals,” Trump told Time Magazine in a wide-ranging interview published Friday, “100%.”
Pressed on which countries he had made deals with, Trump refused to say, nor did he clarify the terms of the agreements. He added that he would announce them “over the next three to four weeks,” once the negotiations are “finished.”
“Now, some countries may come back and ask for an adjustment, and I’ll consider that,” he said.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
“I would say, over the next three to four weeks, and we’re finished, by the way,” Trump told Time. “We’ll be finished.”
He didn’t say he negotiated trade deals with 200 seperate and distinct countries, he said he”negotiated 200 trade deals”.
Could be 200 different deals with 30 different counties.

Trump driving peace really gets to you, doesn’t it ?
You’re right.
I am reading Trump’s book, The Art of the Deal. He is even smarter than I thought, efficient as hell, gets things done very fast. An amazing mind encompassing details of many different situations every day.
Because the deal is a deal that I choose. View it differently: We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it. They don't have to do business with the United States, but I set a tariff on countries.
