White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said President Donald Trump has seen outlines of trade deals ahead of the Aug. 1 tariff deadline.

“The bottom line is that he’s seen some sketches of deals that had been negotiated with Howard Lutnick and the rest of the trade team, and the president thinks that the deals need to be better, and to basically put a line in the sand, he sent these letters out to folks. And we’ll see how it works out,” Hassett said in an interview on ABC News’s This Week.
