    Nope:

    They basically just agreed to start talking. The pattern so far with the Trump administration is that they announce huge deals and breakthroughs and the country they’re negotiating with says it’s not that far along yet. You see it with Russia and Iran.

      Its a similar tactic the UFC uses and the UFC and Trump are buddy.

      Basically what you do is, you publicly announce that a fight deal was made/booked then when the other party says no you yell “See, they dont want to make a deal! They are the problem not me!”

      I worded the title in a specific way intentionally. “White House says…” I do not believe the it will be a real “trade deal”. I’ll update the post to included China’s perspective in a moment. China published that tweet right after I created the hexbear post.
