The White House confirmed it sent letters to multiple countries, reminding them to submit their "best offers" on trade negotiations ahead of Trump's deadline.

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.
