<h1>President's 90-day trade deadline yields only two deals with smaller nations as major partners resist tariff threats</h1> A president initiated aggressive trade negotiations with dozens of countries, threatening significant tariffs while promising rapid deal-making. After a 90-day deadline passed, only two agreements were secured with smaller nations, while major trading partners resisted demands. The administration extended deadlines and modified tariff threats, creating ongoing uncertainty for global businesses. The approach disrupted established international trade rules by implementing country-specific tariff rates rather than uniform treatment. Financial markets reacted negatively to the uncertainty, and larger economies proved more resistant to pressure tactics than smaller nations, resulting in a prolonged standoff.
