BunkerBoy 05/06/25 8:36:52 PM #1:	https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/us/politics/trump-deals-tariffs.html Everyone says When, when, when are you going to sign deals? Mr. Trump said, at one point motioning toward Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary. We dont have to sign deals. We could sign 25 deals right now, Howard, if we wanted to. We dont have to sign deals. They have to sign deals with us. They want our market. We dont want a piece of their market. We dont care about their market. Within days of the April 2 announcement of the widespread tariffs, White House officials said around 70 countries were already calling to strike deals. Mr. Trumps trade adviser predicted there would be 90 deals in 90 days. But more than a month later, no such deals have materialized. And the clock is ticking. Mr. Trump predicted the first deals could be signed this week. But administration officials also made that prediction the week before that, and the week before that. On Tuesday, the president told the members of the press gathered around him that he would have an important announcement soon, but cautioned that it might not be a trade deal. You keep writing about deals, deals, when are we going to sign? Mr. Trump said, sounding annoyed at reporters questions. At another point he vented, I wish theyd stop asking how many deals are you signing this week. Then Mr. Trump seemed to change the very definition of a deal from a two-sided agreement into a one-sided demand. In the next two weeks, the president said, he would sit down with his top aides and make unilateral deals that the administration would announce without the participation of other countries. One day well come and well give you 100 deals, the president said. <cite>BunkerBoy posted [p:984978225] in Trump: 'We...
