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.
During a tense meeting to discuss tariffs with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, the president attempted to move the goal posts on actually completing any agreements with foreign countries.

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

In that situation I think the crowds haven’t noticed the lions are about to jump the fence and the legions have closed the gates.
