Trump Announces New Tariffs in Bizarre Copy-Paste Letters
The secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, accidentally admitted that the White House was lying on the begging countries Donald Trump for commercial agreements.
Bessent made the surprising admission on Sunday as he got into knots trying to answer questions from the host of CNN on the forgotten promise of the Trump administration for a long time of 90 commercial transactions During the break of the 90 -day president on his radical reciprocal prices.
“We have seen three, and these are not concrete offers as we are used to seeing commercial offers, these are executives”, bash said. Given Trump’s reputation as a negotiator, she asked: “Why did we not see the kind of transactions he promised in the last 90 days?”
“Once again, he did not promise this,” said Bessent. “And when we send the hundred letters to these countries which will fix their rate rates … We will therefore do a hundred in the coming days.” Bessent was referring to Trump Sunday evening Post social post announcing that he would inform several countries the day after their new pricing prices.
“But that is not an agreement, it’s a threat,” said Bash.
“No, that’s the level. This is the business. If you want to chat with the United States, it’s …” Bessent tried to explain.
“But it is not a negotiation, it is only a statement,” said Bash.
“Well, many of these countries have never even contacted us,” replied Bessent.
But just months ago, the press secretary of the White House Karoline Leavitt claimed That the phones of the White House “ring” with countries calling for agreements with the United States.
Bessent is right on one thing: Trump did not promise 90 agreements in 90 days; His best commercial advisor, Peter Navarro, did it. Trump, on the other hand, claimed Have already concluded 200 commercial transactions in April. Three months later, and barely three transactions were materialized. But in the Trump administration, it is clear that an agreement is not an agreement, it is a letter. And a conversation is not a conference, it is a threatened threat through the ocean.
