The White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, provided an update on trade negotiations, an informative session on Tuesday.
“A lot are progressing. Now we have 18 paper proposals that have brought the leg to the commercial team,” he said. “Once again, these are paper proposals that the country tries to proposed to the Trump administration and our government.”
Around 100 countries have expressed interest in reaching an agreement, according to the press secretary.
“You have Secretary Besent, Secretary Lutnick, Ambassador Greer, the director of NEC, Hassett and Peter Navarro, the entire meeting of the commercial team with 34 countries only this week,” he added. “We are moving at Trump’s speed to ensure that these agreements are made on behalf of the American worker and the American people.”
Leavitt also emphasized that vice president JD Vance announced on Monday that the United States and India have established terms of reference for trade.
“That is a big problem. We know that when we observe the numbers, the monetary commercial barriers and the non -monetary commercial barriers of India, they have a leg to the United States and US workers for a long time,” he said.
“Then, the fact that the vice president, with Prime Minister Modi on that trip in India, announced a reference thesis, which is essentially a framework to advance the ball to sign a good commercial agreement between our two nations,” progresses Leaht.
Leavitt also revealed that the president said that commercial negotiations between the United States and China are going to “very well.”
“I asked the president about this before coming here, and he wanted him to share with all that we are doing very well regarding a possible commercial agreement with China,” he shared.
