Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT: There is likely no trade deal with Japan. [View all]

There's no agreement to review. No text. Even in this article, the author notes that Japan hasn't even confirmed the existence of an agreement.

So why report that there's a trade deal if we know Trump lies and there's no agreement?

When is he not lying?
