But how many actual 'deals' have been announced?
Zimbabwe is one. A whopping $5M saved.
FYI, EU called Trump's bluff, proposing a "zero for zero" (all tariffs
completely dropped), which is what Trump had claimed he wanted, but
Trump has rejected that proposal. Now what, Batman?
So who else has actually closed a deal?
Name names, because otherwise its just lame MAGA propaganda.
