"We don't have to sign deals, they have to sign deals with us. They want a piece of our market. We don't want a piece of their market," Trump said.

After weeks of saying that countries were asking for with the United States, the president and his team have yet to announce any formal agreements or frameworks.

"I wish they'd ... stop asking, how many deals are you signing this week?" said Trump, clearly frustrated at the mounting pressure on the White House to show progress on trade talks. "Because one day we'll come and we'll give you 100 deals," he said.

The U.S. is "very close to some deals," Bessent said on "Money Movers."

Investors and business leaders are desperately hoping the Trump administration can negotiate a series of bilateral agreements with major U.S. trading partners such as Japan, South Korea and India before the full brunt of the tariff-induced trade slowdown hits the U.S. economy.

But so far, the Trump administration has not provided any details about any specific deals. Instead, nearly every day, top aides publicly say that several deals are "close" and could be announced within days.
