Trump claims '200' tariff deals, phone call with China's Xi in wide-ranging interview, ABC News, 4/25/25

President Donald Trump, in a wide-ranging interview with Time magazine published Friday, claimed he's already "made 200 deals" on tariffs and said he's spoken with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

. . .

"I’ve made 200 deals," Trump said. When asked to confirm that number, Trump said "100%."

Trump, though, would not elaborate on what countries he's solidified deals with or the terms. He's met with various foreign officials at the White House in recent weeks on tariffs and other economic issues, but has not yet announced any agreements.

"I would say, over the next three to four weeks, and we're finished, by the way," Trump told Time. "We'll be finished."

He also claimed that Chinese president Xi called him, but Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Jiakun said "China and the United States have not consulted or negotiated on the tariff issue" and "the United States should not confuse the public."
