Trump says US Doesn’t Need to Sign Trade Deals

Written by on May 6, 2025

President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday that the United States does not have to sign any deals on trade.

The president, who appeared frustrated with reporters asking when the first tariff deal would finally be announced, snapped that it was incumbent on other countries to agree on a deal with the U.S., not the other way round.

"Everybody says, 'when, when are you going to sign deals?' We don't have to sign deals. I can sign 25 deals right now... if I wanted. They have to sign deals . . .
