WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s administration is setting a Wednesday deadline for countries impacted by his sweeping tariffs to submit their best offer for a new trade agreement with the U.S., White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed. Speaking at Tuesday’s press briefing, Leavitt told reporters that the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative sent a letter to trading partners informing them of the request, describing it as a “friendly reminder” as the pause Trump issued on his “reciprocal” tariffs is set to expire in just weeks.

“I can confirm the merits and the content of the letter,” Leavitt said in response to a question about a Reuters report on the letters. “USTR sent this letter to all of our trading partners just to give them a friendly reminder that the deadline is coming up.” She went on to note that Trump’s trade team in talks on new deals with countries, adding the administration is “on track” to make good deals that are tailor-made to specific nations.

The administration has been engaged in negotiations with trading partners after Trump issued a 90-day pause – set to lapse in the second week of July – on the new country-specific tariff rates he announced on what he deemed “Liberation Day.” But since then, Trump has said that his team would not have time for conversations with every trading partner that wants to make an agreement, telling reporters traveling with him to the United Arab Emirates last month that his administration was set to begin independently informing other countries of the tariff rate the U.S. will charge them.

The new deadline, however, comes amid major uncertainty surrounding the future of Trump’s wide scale tariff agenda after a series of court rulings last week.

3. Crickets

No one takes Trump seriously. And certainly no one trusts him.

[thought crime]

17. It would be foolish to deal before courts rule on tariffs' legality.

Trump doesn't have the cards. And in any case, they should wait it out and scare the crap out of him.

[speak easy]

4. @BumRushDaShow

I imagine you could give very detailed, explicit, and enthusiastic ideas about where to submit new trade deals to the Trump Administration.

5. Proposals? For what? The Felon is just going to

make a scene and the tariffs will be as he wants. Such drama. The hallmark of his wretched life.

6. More bluster from the fat imbecile

As long as Wall Street still participates in this charade, he'll keep doing it.

[Vinca]

7. Wonder how many will respond "sorry, not interested." They've been making deals elsewhere.

[Scrivener7]

8. He just keeps waiting by the phone and no one is calling. But he's telling his friends at

the lunch table in the cafeteria that they're all trying to date him.

[Ray Bruns]

12. This is how they should respond.

[tulipsandroses]

13. Didn't he say they were all lining up to kiss his ass? So why does he need to send them letters?

He is the laughing stock of the world.
It seems to me that world leaders have figured out how to deal with trump 2.0 while many here in the USA are failing at doing that. Looking at you media, GOP and yes even some democrats.
