US Ag sec says talking to 100 countries every day on trade, including China

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins spoke in a TV interview over the weekend:

• CNN’s “State of the Union”
• administration is having daily conversations with China over tariffs
• there were ongoing talks between the US and China
• trade deals with other nations were “very close”
• “Every day we are in conversation with China, along with those other 99, 100 countries that have come to the table”

Bessent wasn;t so upbeat in his media comments:

• U.S. Treas Sec Bessent didn’t back Trump assertion that China tariff talks were under way

So I guess the brown-nose award goes to Rollins. I don’t think her comments pass the sniff test.
