The British trade deal wasn't what they said it was, the Vietnamese won't confirm Trump's announcement, and the Japanese say they're not signing a binding agreement. The White House has released the text of ZERO deals, and maybe it's all just social media posts all the way down.

Hmm. Interesting take. I dont know enough di hukum sih. Others? Coba kusenggol @PramOctavy
