After President Donald Trump paused his “Liberation Day” tariffs in April, his trade adviser Peter Navarro promised that the administration would deliver “90 deals in 90 days.” But that deadline came and went Wednesday with the White House 88 trade deals short.

Trump’s comments come after Monday's press briefing, where White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked to walk through the decision to halt weapons to Ukraine. Leavitt stated it was the result of a standard review by the Pentagon of all weapons and aid to all countries that the U.S. supports.

US President Donald Trump began a three-day summit in Washington DC with the leaders of five African states, an event the White House sees as an "incredible" commercial opportunity. Trump's guests include the leaders of Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania and Senegal - all countries with small populations and economies.
