Summary
The Trump administration admitted it sent formal letters to several countries urging them to submit trade proposals by July 8, the deadline for its “90 deals in 90 days” initiative.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called them “friendly reminders,” but critics mocked the move as desperate.
The initiative began in April after Trump paused new tariffs amid market unrest.
Online commentators questioned whether deals will materialize, accusing the administration of backpedaling from bold claims about trade leverage and partner enthusiasm.
So now we’re sending out reminders like a high school history teacher reminding students that the history report is due tomorrow.
I’d also like to point out that Trump said he had trade deals waiting to be signed from over 200 other countries. I’d also like to point out that there are 195 countries on the planet, including the US. I’ll let you do the math from there.
On July 8th, every other country should take the time to send Trump a copy of whatever new trade deals they’ve negotiated with other countries in response to Trump’s tariffs.
I was thinking it’s more like a reminder that your car’s warranty is about to expire, so hurry up and purchase that extended warranty!
