It’s coming to light that even some of the trade deals that are “done” haven’t actually been signed. They are frameworks, or supposed verbal agreements. This is all looking very shaky.

NONE of these „trade deals“ is anything more than a letter of intend, if at all. But as most of it is just US tariffs anyway, that doesn't matter much. The US can do the „deal“ on their own, and all the EU, Japan etc. basically have informally agreed to is not to retaliate, aka as doing nothing.

I think Trump believes if he states it’s a done deal that it will put pressure on the target nation(s) to simply accept it (vs the outlined terms just being the starting point for further discussions).

What about the amazing trade deal w/ China signed in Jan 2020? The Historic & Enforceable trade deal w/ China? Why was that never enforced? Why not sue to enforce that deal rather than having a trade war w/ every country in the world & a few more? Was the enforceable China deal never enforceable?

Some information from the United States trade representative about the phase one trade agreement with China. The headline declares: “ achieving high-quality enforceable commitments” Here’s a statement from Donald Trump about that historic trade agreement withs China back in January 20 20: “We take a momentous step—one that has never been taken before with China—toward the future affair and reciprocal trade, as we sign phase 1 of the historic tree deal between the United States and China. Together, we are right the wrongs of the past and delivering a future of economic justice and security for American workers, and families.“ Moore from the government website about: “establishing and historical, enforceable agreement“
