President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he will be announcing a “major trade deal” from the Oval Office at 10 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday morning.
“Big News Conference tomorrow morning at 10:00 A.M., The Oval Office, concerning a MAJOR TRADE DEAL WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF A BIG, AND HIGHLY RESPECTED, COUNTRY,” the president announced in a Truth Social post. “THE FIRST OF MANY!!!”

The news comes just a day after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told lawmakers that the first of many trade deals with “major trading partners” could be announced as early as this week. “There are 18 very important trading relationships. We are currently negotiating with 17 of those trading partners. China – we have not engaged in negotiations with as of yet,” Bessent said while testifying before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government.
