The Trump administration wants countries to provide their best offer on trade negotiations by Wednesday as officials seek to accelerate talks with multiple partners ahead of a self-imposed deadline in just five weeks, according to a draft letter to negotiating partners seen by Reuters.
In the draft, the US is asking countries to list their best proposals in a number of key areas, including tariff and quota offers for the purchase of US industrial and agricultural products and plans to remedy any non-tariff barriers.
Other requested items include any commitments on digital trade and economic security, along with country-specific commitments, according to the letter.
The US will evaluate the responses within days and offer “a possible landing zone” that could include a reciprocal tariff rate, according to the letter.
