White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said that trade talks with some US counterparts are already well along, including deals that were close to done last week.
“We’ve got a few deals that we’ve been working on ahead of this that are really, really well advanced,” Hassett said on CNBC Thursday. He didn’t specify which countries were involved in those talks ahead of President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 90-day pause on retaliatory tariffs with most trading partners Wednesday.
