Donald Trump has continually insisted that deals over his tariffs are coming.
Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that the U.S. doesn’t “have to sign” any trade deals, inadvertently admitting that his administration hasn’t made any progress during the 90-day pause on his disastrous tariffs.

‘We don’t care about their market’ is such a self indictment of his understanding of global trade.
