During an appearance on ABC News’s This Week Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent admitted the president’s statement that he’d “made 200 deals” during the first 13 days of his 90-day pause on his “reciprocal tariff” policy wasn’t referring to actual deals.
“I believe that he is referring to subdeals within the negotiations we’re doing,” Bessent said.
“Martha, if there are 180 countries, there are 18 important trading partners—let’s put China to the side because that’s a special negoation—there’s 17 important trading partners, and we have a process in place over the next 90 days to negotiate with them. Some of those are moving along very well, especially with the Asian countries,” Bessent said.
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins also undercut the president’s claim of 200 trade deals during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday.
