Trump Says He's Negotiated 200 Trade Deals — But Won’t Say With Whom

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.

Trump’s trade adviser Peter Navarro said earlier this month that it was “possible” to sign 90 deals during the 90-day tariff reprieve, but the administration has so far yet to announce a single trade agreement. Given there are about 200 countries in the world, and assuming every purported deal is with a different country, Trump would need to have negotiated deals with just about every nation on the planet.

Vice President JD Vance traveled to India this week, where he said the Trump administration and New Delhi are “hard at work on a trade agreement.” Vance claimed he and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had “made very good progress.”

Talks are also underway with Japan, though Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba told his parliament this month that Tokyo would not capitulate to American demands simply to “conclude negotiations swiftly.”

Comparing the U.S. to a “department store” and countries as customers, Trump told Time Magazine he would be uncompromising in trade negotiations.

“And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I'll say, if you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay,” he said.
