President Donald Trump has signed letters that will be sent to around a dozen nations ahead of next week’s deadline to reach a trade agreement, according to a July 5 post from a White House account on the social media platform X.

In a video that accompanied the post, Trump is seen responding to a reporter, saying the letters detail “different amounts of money, different amounts of tariffs, and somewhat different statements.” The letters are set to go out on Monday.
